From the organizer:

Join FVH for a talk and photo exhibition by photographic artist Colonel Tran Hong.

He’ll tell us about his “up close and personal” time spent with General Vo Nguyen Giap.

Colonel Hong was born in Ha Tinh Province, he worked as a press photographer at the Quan Doi Nhan Dan (People’s Army) newspaper since 1973.

He is a member of the Vietnam Journalists’ Association, Vietnam Association of Photographic Artist, Hanoi Union of Literature and Art Association and International Federation of International Artistic Photography.

After graduating as a photography major from the Academy of Journalism and Communication (the first batch), Tran Hong worked at the Quan Doi Nhan Dan Newspaper until retiring in 2010. His photography concentrates on portraits and he has selected 20 photos of General Vo Nguyen Giap, from his collection of over 1500 photos, to show us.

Tran Hong has met the General many times in his travels as a press photographer and he has a story behind each of his photographs and you will see that his love for the General is reflected in these photographs!
