A80 - Hanoi 09/2025
Written By Xuan Tung Lam
Being in Hanoi for this historical event was an incredible stroke of luck, and a deeply personal experience. The energy of the city was absolutely electric, and as a street photographer, the collective joy and palpable excitement were a dream come true. With all eyes on the parades and festivities, I felt a once-in-a-lifetime pull to immerse myself completely in the vibrant atmosphere. As a Vietnamese myself, I was completely swept away by the excitement. I let my emotions guide the camera and capture the raw, unfiltered spirit of the day. It was a beautiful, humbling, and unforgettable experience to document a moment of such collective pride.
