On Tuesday members welcomed Gavin Forrest who gave an excellent travelogue on a visit he made to Vietnam.
His pictures particularly the street scenes in the capital Hanoi were fantastic and gave a great introduction to the hustle and bustle of a very busy city. Pictures of the people on motor scooters and bikes gave an insight into their way of life, carrying all sorts of produce and goods, to earn their living on the street markets. Many pictures of the people showed that although poor, they appear to be happy and content and show great resilience considering the horrific war many of them experienced. The final part of Gavin's presentation showing monochrome portraits was very inspirational, his pictures expressing the true character of his subjects.
