Hello friends,

  

Like most of people, I have always been either studying hard or working hard, and pursuing what we call "success." Recently, I came to a realization that I had been no different than being a slave all along, even for my own ideals.

 

Upon that awakening, I started to travel and explore the world, starting with the places around where I live currently. My desire is to explore all the beautiful places in the South of Vietnam, then the Central and the North region. After that, may be China, other Southeast countries, and perhaps back home to the U.S.

 

Spending time away from civilization, surrounding by beautiful and peaceful sceneries, enjoying each local specialty foods, learning about different traditions...are all simply fascinating and uplifting.

 

While experiencing the natural world, I tried to take photographs of its hidden beauties, subjects or angles that are not normally seen by other visitors.

 

By sharing these photos, I hope to entertain you by passing on the happiness I have put in while taking them. I hope my photos will draw more visitors/travelers to those remote places which in turn help to feed many of the poor people there.

 

Finally, I hope I will be able to sell these photos in the future and use the proceeds to support to the poor and remote orphan centers in Vietnam, the project which I have been doing since May 2010.

 

Thank you viewing and commenting on my photos and may peace be with you.

 

Warm regards,

 

Andre Luu
