A real beauty brought back from Vietnam - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

I realized that it's been months since our trip to Vietnam and Cambodia and I've been guilty of not sharing enough beautiful images from it.  This one stuck in my mind even during the trip. It was the day that we arrived in Hanoi.  The weather was perfect and we took an easy afternoon stroll along the lake near our hotel.  It turned out to be a popular day (or season) for bridal portraits.  We must have run into at least 5 couples within an hour.  This bride-to-be in her traditional costume, with the soft rays on her shoulder, was simply too beautiful to pass up for me.

So here's my take on her bridal portraiture:

Anybody knows this beautiful bride?  I would love to send her a print.

A Beauty in its Tradition - Hoi An, Vietnam - Los Angeles Photographer

When I travel, I seek out things of tradition, things that carry a long history with them. As everywhere in this world, people are in a rush to demolish the old and build the new, those things are harder to locate and become rarity in many cases. So I consider myself lucky when I was able to capture this lady, so elegantly passing by the water in her traditional outfit ("Ao Dai") when I was already enjoying a visual feast in the ancient town of Hoi An, Vietnam.

What has become a rarity to you that you grew up with?

A serene scene brought back from Halong Bay, Vietnam - Los Angeles Photographer

Alright, my friends.  I hope you've enjoyed the beautiful scenery from Halong Bay that I posted last week.  As beautiful as the picture conveys, I love anything that's more than single-element.  This goes for people, food, scenery, or anything else that I can't put my mind onto at the moment. So this next picture I'm about to share was also taken from Halong Bay.  But you'd see an obvious difference of feel from the previous one - a lone little fishing boat, floating quietly by itself.  And the fish net seems to be telling a story...

As you look into the (seemingly blank) distance, what feeling/sentiment/emotion did this scene draw from you?  I'd love that you share...
