Steve Parish Photos Receive Acclaim in Vietnam
To celebrate 35 years of diplomatic relations between Australia and Vietnam, the Australian Consulate General in Vietnam played host to a week-long cultural program from 20–27 February 2009. To conclude the week, a photographic exhibit featuring Australian photographers, including the works of Steve Parish, was on display in Ho Chi Minh City. Hosted in the Youth Cultural House, 04 Pham Ngoc Thach, Dist, the exhibit, entitled “Australia — A Land of Contrasts”, featured photographs ranging from the unique urban cityscapes of Australia to Uluru in the continent’s Red Centre.
The Australian Consulate General was pleased to display the national treasures, featuring 38 photographs in all, abroad. Throughout the public event, Steve’s works brought the wondrous and picturesque landscape of the land Down Under to the Vietnamese people in a photo-essay that catalogued a continent of true extremes. The event was testimony to the ties between Australia and Vietnam and was a goodwill gesture, wishing a beneficial relationship between the two countries in decades to come.
