Hello Tim and other friends,
I was a refugee on Pulau Tenga where Mr. Joe Young (now maybe change to Brother Theo Young) came in 1977 to help us build an ESL teacher aid team to teach our people in the camp. We're very closed with Mr. Joe Young. Our family would like to contact Mr. Young. Please help us on how to contact him. We're now in San Jose, California.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Gary,
Unfortunately, I myself haven't had a chance to revisit Hue-Da Nang since 1972, so I have no clue about them now. I would suggest that since you have only a day for each city, a land tour would help you see most of what you need to see. I always go with the ones that got the best online customer reviews.

Hi Hien Mai,
I am not sure which refugee you are talking about? And all my photos are of Galang Camp, Indonesia, not Pulau Bidong.
Hien Mai 05-Jul-2016 04:44
Hi Tim,

My name is Hien from Tanq Studio in Vietnam. We are making a documentary film about Pulau Bidong and we would like to use your photos about Bidong Refugee camp.

Can you send us the highest quality photos of this refugee that you have? Because they are going to be used in the film so we need the highest quality of them.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best,

Hello Tas,
Please note that most photos in the album Vietnamese Boat People are not mine, so you can use the photos but please quote the sources. The photos in Galang Camp Revisited are mine, again, you can use but quote the source. Thanks.

Hello Tim,
I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Tas. I'm an actor and director and I'm 1 of 7 artists who have been commissioned by the British Red Cross to design an installation as part of their 150 years celebrations.

I am currently collaborating with a Vietnamese woman who was a 13 year old girl when she moved through the Kai Tak refugee camp in Hong Kong. I have also been speaking to another woman who was a nurse in the camp at that time. I am currently working in London with a bi-lingual Vietnamese actress to create a sound-design installation recalling the plight of the Vietnamese during the crisis.

I wanted to ask you if it would be okay to use some of your fantastic high resolution images from that period as part of the installation?


I can be reached by return email or on +44 7931 501 321

Many Thanks
Tas

Hello Hoang Thinh,
You changed so different...I could not recognize you until I saw the photo taken with Mr. Joe Young. What a wonderful time was there, now looking back I can not keep my emotional... How is everything? Are you living in VCR? I was there so many times last couple years for my CBC business. Below is my address: keng.pham60@gmail.com.
Hope one day we will meet again,
Keng

Hello Joe,
I am glad you put Joe there, as for thousands and thousands of us in Galang in 1985-1986, you are always remembered as Joe. When I said "the largest", I meant by land area, not by refugee population. I already put a small note, thanks to your comment. Thank you.
Joe Young 10-Dec-2012 06:03
What a wonderful site! Congratulations, Tim! The fact that many of the items are written or explained in both Vietnamese and English is very helpful to a greater number of interested people. The photos are well selected as well I have already commented on Facebook that your assertion (I did not know it was you at the time (^_^) that Galang was the largest refugee camp in SE Asia can be challenged. For sure, it was one of the largest; but, for example, my first posting with UNHCR was in Malaysia, where I arrived in April 1980; at that time, there were 50,000 Vietnamese refugees in that country, in 9 different camps (8 of which I eventually got to visit, as Education Officer), but Pulau Bidong was the main and largest camp, with 25,000 people, which, I was told, was far less than in the previous 2 years. The processing camp, for all Indochinese refugees, in Morong, Bataan, Philippines, also often had a considerably larger population than 20,000. But all that aside, your photos, beautiful poems (wish youo had dated them), and engaging stories are really excellent, Tim. Once again, congratulations, from your P. Galang partner, Joe

Hi Son,
It's a pleasant surprise to hear from you. Thank you for your kind words. I believe that everybody can make beautiful photos, just more or less.
Wow, I cannot afford a 2 month trip to Vietnam. Send my best regards to Lien.
Son Le 21-Oct-2007 07:47
Hi Thinh,
By pure luck, I browsed across your galleries, and I was stunned with the beautiful pictures you took in Vietnam. I just went back to Vietnam on my 2 month trip, but the pictures I took are nothing compares with yours. Keep up the good work, Thinh!
Please say hello to Thanh and friends in Vancouver for me!
Best regards,
Son Le

Hi Tim

good to see your images of Vancouver - I've just joined here although i've been looking at PBase for ages - as a visitor to Vancouver - what an amazing city I wonder what you might make of my images of the city too.....I've just started to post a portrait of it from the spring of this year.

best wishes Kev

Hello, Your work is simply stunning. I am an artist/agent, and was wondering if you were interested in possibly displaying your work in Las Vegas' largest art gallery? If this is of interest to you, shout back, if not, please disregard the message, and I apologize for inconveniencing you...

Take Care...

I would just like to say that my family and I have thoroughly enjoyed your fabulous interpretation of Vancouver. Your photographs are second to none. You should be famous!! We are hoping to move to vancouver in 2007. If it is half as good as you describe, we will be delighted.
Thank you for your images - they were inspirational. From the Heathcote Family - Nottingham England, U.K.

Hi Tim,

Love your photos of Vietnam and I fell in love with it when I visited Saigon in 2004! Your friend is really talented and his paintings are very characteristic of Vietnamese art. Thanks for showing me more of a country that I will definitely visit again in the near future!

Regards,
Peter
