| A photo of Long Bien Bridge in Hanoi by U.S. photographer Douglas Jardine |
The exhibition has about 50 black-and-white photos taken in the past six months, depicting the beauty of Long Bien Bridge and the lives of residents in the floating houses on the Red River.
Jardine also created panoramas of the bridge by joining smaller photos together.
“When I was eight, I heard about the Long Bien Bridge through an article about the U.S. bombing Hanoi, which included a picture of the bridge taken by the U.S. Air Force, and I was very
interested in this monument”, said Jardine, who is now the Director of Academic Affairs at the Faculty of Foreign Studies of the Hanoi University.
“I also made a scientific study about the bridge but it was too dry… so I
decided to come to Vietnam to see how it is with my own eyes.” He has taken 3,000 photos of the bridge.
