EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Nguyen Huy Kham, we are transported to the serene rice paddy fields just outside of Hanoi. The image showcases two farmers engaged in a traditional practice known as "Farmers walk" where they navigate through the lush greenery and knee-deep water of the paddy fields. Taken on September 7,2011, during Vietnam's peak rice export season, this photograph beautifully encapsulates the country's agricultural prowess. As the world's second-largest rice exporter after Thailand, Vietnam set its sights on breaking its previous shipment record of 2010 by exporting an impressive 7 million tonnes of rice that year. The composition is breathtakingly picturesque; with clear blue skies above and vibrant green fields stretching as far as the eye can see. The unrecognizable figures add a touch of mystery and universality to the scene - symbolizing not just these specific individuals but all hardworking farmers who contribute to our global food supply. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection with nature and our reliance on it for sustenance. It highlights both the beauty and labor-intensive nature of agriculture while showcasing traditional clothing worn by these dedicated workers. Nguyen Huy Kham has skillfully captured a moment that represents growth, resilience, and harmony between humans and their environment. This photograph invites viewers to appreciate not only Vietnam's rich agricultural heritage but also reflect upon our collective responsibility towards sustainable farming practices worldwide.
