*** Please contact me if you or someone you know is interested in taking photos with me in Vietnam or is traveling to Vietnam! Projects range from casual, natural portraits to dramatic, edgy, creative concepts. *** Spite that Vietnam is the home of the most naturally beautiful women Vietnamese model search has been a challenge. Approaching a beautiful [...]

While visiting the stunning mountainous region of Northwest Vietnam I had a chance to take a break from searching for Vietnam's Next Top Model and photograph some naturally beautiful, talented both hesitant and some quite willing locals like the buffalo above. The pose is bold but not vulgar, notice how the curves of the model are [...]

The reason I backtracked and returned to Hanoi from the perfect destination of Ninh Binh instead of continuing to head South as planned was to meet a model from MySpace to discuss possibilities of doing photoshoots together in response to my recent post of looking for Vietnam's Next Top Model. But there aren't any photos from [...]

Kenh Ga is a popular day trip choice 20 some kilometers from the perfect travel destination of Ninh Binh. The waterways of the village which are surrounded by picturesque karst mountains can be explored by taking a boat tour. I had a motor bike driver take me from Ninh Binh to Kenh Ga through a maze of [...]

Just like the scene on the above photo, Ninh Binh offered quiet simplicity with old time charm and something interesting to photograph around every corner and down every alley during my extended three weeks stay. Beside the funny incident of getting yelled at by the bus station toilet attendant upon arrival because I did not comply [...]

Bored enough to read my Tokina 12-24mm and Nikon 18-200mm wide angle lens comparison post illustrated with stellar examples? If yes, thank destiny or Google because you are at the right place. Just watch your step … but more about the elephant dung later! Articles on the rules of photography and other photography tutorials often use [...]

Far away cultures offer interesting experiences around every corner. All that's needed are open eyes and an open mind. The above sign is quite bizarre: from 5AM to 9PM it is prohibited to transport a seal on a bicycle in Haiphong! Go figure! Hapihong is said to be a less touristy version of Vietnam's capital, LonelyPlanet refers [...]

Notice something on the above photo I took of marching Communist Vietnamese soldiers across from Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum: those two faces on the left side of the picture were giving me icy glares! Because I have had a … let's just say hectic Communist past in Hungary … seeing the soldiers' looks sent chills down [...]

Usually every post in this blog covers one town and one stop but in the case of Thailand this one post covers 15 days and five places: Ayutthaya and Sukhothai, Phrae, Nan and Bangkok which account for my entire stay in Thailand. Everyone loves Thailand so why could I not wait to leave after 15 days [...]

Battambang is described by Cambodia guidebooks as an attractive sleepy town with a few attractions nearby. After the tourist hell of Angkor Wat and not knowing how touristy and commercial Thailand (my next stop) will be I decided to stop over for a few days. Related reading: They were not lying, not a whole lot going on [...]

I was fortunate (and yes, quite skilled) to capture a split second of a Cambodian Buddhist monk performing an ancient self cleansing ritual at the Bayon of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. It is not an accident why I choose the above photo to be the first of this post. Discarding all unnecessary from our lives [...]

It is very exciting to present the work of my first guest photographer in this blog! THESE PHOTOS WERE NOT TAKEN BY ME (except the last one) but a seven year old Cambodian boy who became very interested to try out my camera. I absolutely love all his pictures especially the one above. His photos are so [...]
