I photographed these children in a northern Vietnam village while they were enjoying balancing on a bamboo pole laughing and screaming. Some of them wear a national flag color t-shirt because they will have to wear it the day after at the opening ceremony of the school new year.

About author:

I have a degree in mechanical engineering. My passion for photography began at my ninth birthday when I received as gift from my grandmother a beautiful Kodak Retinette. Since then I have continued to take pictures although the hard engagement of the studies had a negative impact on my photographic works as well as many very challenging work periods. In the last ten years I started to take pictures with some more dedication. I often participate with great satisfaction to some trips organized by the Nikon School Travel.
In fact, I travel a lot and every time I travel I like to make a book to tell my friends about my experience and browse it in the future to relive the emotions of the journey. My work, therefore, is made up of many photographic books, currently some thirty, each dedicated to a particular subject.
