Thoughts on Halong

Ha Giang Holga

These photos are from a recent motorbike trip I went on with my girlfriend. It was a great trip in one of the greatest places (I think) on Earth - Ha Giang. The shaky-looking photos are either double or multiple exposures, or because my hands were vibrating from hours on the throttle. I can't rightly remember.

It's probably also worth mentioning that we undertook this trip with a 400g lump of Gorgonzola, which doesn't keep well in hot panniers. Despite our bravery, it got the better of us under a tree (4th picture down) and had to be laid to rest in the next town.

Recent Tearsheets

A couple of the photos I took for UNICEF at the end of 2011 are on the front page of their recent report. And my photos of the dangerous Hanoian gangstahs - EP and the Hanoi Sessions fellows - just before they became hot internet property, appeared in Heritage Magazine, the in-flight magazine of Vietnam Airlines.
