I'm glad you've finally posted photos and look forward to seeing many more. We've always found the Vietnamese to be especially generous, warm and inviting. this holds most true for Hanoi.

Thanks all for your kind words. Yes I will post more photos and hope you guys wont get bored too soon.

 

Those photos were taken by either M2 or M3; lenses were 35/50/90 summicrons. Actually if you look to file names, that information was already there.

 

Cheers,

Trung Nguyen

Really nice images, Trung. #2 is my favorite, followed closely by #4. Please do post more.

 

Hanoi is an enigma to many of we westerners who grew up during the Vietnam war era; it is one of the places I would most like to visit and photograph.

 

And welccome to the forum! :)

Thanks Carlos,

 

I'm among the young generations of Vietnamese who were born after the war. I also always want to know what the Westerners think about that war, though nowadays the war obsession is quite fade for us, the young group IMHO

I switch to another theme: Old residential neighbourhoods in Hanoi

 

During the Soviet era (says 60s - 70s previous century), Soviet Union and East Germany had helped Vietnam to build many residential unit while we were still busy with the Civil War. I guess that were the huge improvement in terms of living condition at that time but at the moment, most of them are in serious deterioration. The City has been trying to demolish and rebuild them but there are still a lot remained in really bad condition. I am giving an example of "Van Chuong residential neighborhood", the place I've visited several times to document it.

 

9. Here is the facade of a apartment, you can have an idea how old it is.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing such wonderful candid photojournalistic shots of Ha-Noi. I will have to make time to go home for a long visit. I was born and raised in Saigon.

 

Thank you, Saigon now is the most developed city in Vietnam, you would be surprised next time you visit.

Welcome to the forum! Very, very good starter. Really love your BW images. But I have to confess that the color images are also great. Much enjoyed.

 

I should have posted more when I registered in this forum 5 years ago. I've happened to be appeared in another forum more often actually. Thank you!
