VietNamNet Bridge – Veteran photographer Le Vuong is now 91 years old but he’s never been separating himself from his camera even one day.

Le Vuong is one of the three oldest Vietnamese photographers (photographer Vo An Ninh is now at the age of 103 and Nguyen Nhung is now 92) who are still working with the camera. At the age of 91, Van Vuong still go everywhere, even to the very far-flung mountainous areas such as Sa Pa, Mu Cang Chai, Pac Po cave etc to take photographs.

He even went to the Central Highlands to capture tangible heritage of the ethnic minority people and to Nha Trang to have pictures of “one of the 30 most beautiful bays in the world”.

Not only going across the country, Van Vuong also went to many places in the US, from the Washington DC, New York, California, to Nevada wilderness. He has also been to the Netherlands, France, Germany, Austria and Italy for his pictures.

He has been to many Asian countries such as China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and the Republic of Korea. Recently he has been to Japan, the land of the sun for his photo collection named “Japan – land of cherry blossoms”.

After each trip, Van Vuong often organised exhibitions. He said exhibition not only aims to introduce his photos but to share with everybody his great passion for the art which will never end.

His exhibition “Japan – the Land of Cheery Blossoms” organised on the 35th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Japan had the attendance of Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Khiem. He said “As long as I am healthy, I will continue creating more pictures.”

What admires the public is that though at the very old age, over 50 pictures featuring Japan show a very young and witty view of Van Vuong.
