A journey to the other side

Last week we took a trip to the other side of the Long Bien bridge to visit Gia Lem station. We ended up missing our train there but ended up taking the train back, seeing some old aircraft and some newly weds. Not mentioning all the assorted photo opportunities the kids found along the way.

Long Bien Book Project

Welcome to Blue Dragons Photo Project Blog! This blog is all about the children's photography project that i am working on with Blue Dragon's Childrens Foundation [www.bdcf.org] in Hanoi.

We are producing a book/series of postcards on Hanoi's most famous bridge called the Long Bien Bridge. The publication that will be made up exclusively of photographs taken by children from 8-13 years old from Blue Dragon's Childrens Foundation.

The publication will be in time for next year's [postponed date] Long Bien Festival [http://maisondesartshanoi.com/LbFestival/upcoming.htm] which will be major Arts event.

I intend to use this blog to show some of the children's work to gain feedback and keep people up to date with progress of the project. Look forward to hearing from you...Darren
