Vietnam

200 images Created 18 Jan 2011

Here is a selection of Sheldon's vast portfolio of photographs from Vietnam.
Featuring mainly Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the mighty Mekong and the former French-colonial highland retreat of Da Lat (and many places in between), these images go beyond many (but not all) of the usual tourist destinations and focus on some of the lesser-known but otherwise truly "iconic" aspects of this amazing, welcoming, comparatively poor but overwhelmingly optimistic people and their country.

All images are available as prints--click on the "Buy Image" link.

All are also available for licensing (Rights Managed only), most via the prestigious PhotoLibrary agency. Please contact Sheldon with any licensing enquiries.
