Vietnames Photo Club/Websites

’Net gives camera bugs a new playground
by Linh Ha
With the development of the Internet, more and more Vietnamese photographers, professional and amateur alike, now know better ways to share their hobby with others though online communities specifically for photography-lovers.
At first, "playing photos online" was just an idea tossed around between people who share the same hobby.
Today, there are about 20 Vietnamese websites about photography. Some of them run like online newspapers with photo galleries and comprehensive information sources about photography, such as: www.nghethuatnhiepanh.com; www.photoworld.com.vn; www.vnphoto.net; and www.photo.com.vn. There are also smaller forums on photography included big forums like Nghe Thuat Nhiep Anh (Photography Art) at www.ttvnol.com and www.hanoicorner.com.
Members of these forums vary from amateurs to professional photographers and journalists.
Photo.com.vn, which just came on-line a year ago, now has 19,000 members, the biggest number for Vietnamese websites on photography. Also quite new is www.photoworld.com.vn, which has attracted more than 2,000 members, including many famous professionals.
The number of members are increasing day by day

ed note: I've been a member of Photo.Vn since it started in Sept 05. I've referred many photographer to my friends at Photo.Vn. If you visit Hanoi, they will take you on day of photography and adventure. Longpt or Le Bich are the best contacts. Be sure to mention Mr. Chuck
