Romulus, Remus and Lupa (a she-wolf)

According to a legend, Rome, Italy was founded in 753 BC by Romulus and Remus, who were raised by Lupa (a she-wolf). It’s hard to imagine what would happen to our Civilization if Lupa didn’t rescue the twins from the Tiber River. It would be no Roman Art, Sculpture, Latin literature, Music… Simply no Colosseum, no Piazza Navona, no Trevi …

Shared Souls. Portraits of Vietnam

Once upon a time, the legend says, when a deluge of rain was falling there descended from the sky a giant woman wearing on her head four huge round leaves as large as the sky itself and stitched together by bamboo sticks. The leaves protected humankind, then still naked, from the rain. The giant messenger from the sky twirled round …

Shared Souls. Portraits of Vietnam

Street Portrait Photography or Candid Portraiture is my favorite part of the Travel Photography. Being a street photographer in new environment, especially in a new country, is a lot of fun. But, capturing the expression, personality, and mood of the person within everyday settings is a pleasure! I found Vietnamese as photo-friendly people who kindly share their souls in the …

However, I am being asked the same question “What was the most shocking experience on your Shocking Asia trip?”. So here is my list of Top 10 “Shocking Asia” experiences from …

The term is used particularly when the memory is recalled involuntarily, and/or when it is so intense that the person “relives” the experience, unable to fully recognize it as memory …

Hanoi, Vietnam

Inspired by 1974 and 1985 documentary films ‘Shocking Asia’, I was always more interested in exploration/photography of the Asian continent than any other. I was not looking to experience “not for the faint of heart” bizarre rituals… The fascinating culture of Far East, its charming people, and wonderful food pulled me like a magnet. Within last two years I visited …
