Photo forum-junkies from all around the Asian-Pacific region will gather in Ha Noi next month to take part in their third annual field trip.
Entitled Crossing Bridge, the company will gather 40 members from online photo forums in Viet Nam (www.photo.com.vn), Singapore (www.clubsnap.org), Indonesia (www.fotografer.net) and Malaysia (www .photomalaysia.com).
According to the trip’s host, who is also the Vietnamese photo forum founder, Pham Thanh Long, the seven-day trip aims to foster inter-forum friendship and cultural understanding, as well as strengthen the personal friendships of some photographers.
This year, the trip will take place in Ha Noi and Sa Pa. Apart from shooting, a couple of evenings will be dedicated to discussion and exhibiting participants’ works from the trip’s activities.
During their trip, they will also visit Ha Long Bay and some traditional handicraft villages near Ha Noi.
The last two Crossing Bridge’s trips were held in Indonesia (2004), and Hong Kong-Macau (2005). — VNS
