The 2016 Vietnam Explorer Photo Tour is off to a great start with eight enthusiastic photographers, eager to explore this amazing country. We spent our first day, cameras in hand, wandering around Saigon or “Ho Chi Minh City” if you prefer. We visited many of Saigon’s icons including the spectacular turn-of-the-century Colonial French Post Office, the War Remnants Museum and the Requiem Photo Exhibit, the turn of the century Opera House and the Catholic Cathedral in the Dong Khoi Street area. We also explored Binh Tay Market and Thien Hau Pagoda (Cantonese pagoda) in Cho Lon district. Here are 37 images from today. Enjoy.
Requiem Photo Exhibit: Larry Burroughs images, some of the most compelling photos of the war.
