The father, a cameraman for 44 years, was born in North Vietnam, studied art and literature at a French university, but turned to his hobby of photography for income when times got tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years he traveled, taking pictures throughout Indochina, and didn\u2019t marry until he was 43. A few months later he and his bride fled the Communists in the North and came to Saigon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They now have eight children. At 12, Lo Manh Hung is the oldest. The youngest is 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lo Manh Hung and his father arise everyday at 5am. To be early on the job and usually don\u2019t finish until after 9pm.That\u2019s 365 days a year, the father sighs.<br>In less hectic times, the pair scoot about the city on a motorbike to cover official government affairs, weddings, airport arrivals, parties, fires, whatever may make news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lo Manh Hung helps with the film processing and printing, then turns messenger salesman, pedding fresh prints to local newspapers and foreign news agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His small, slim frame and child\u2019s face are both the hindrance and help in his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police invariably stop him as he tries to pass through official gates, demanding&#8221; \u201cWhere do you think you\u2019re going?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He explains calmly he is the son of photographer Lo Vinh, produces his credentials and cameras, and usually continues on his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But not always &#8211; and that, he says, is his biggest problem: cinvincing police he really is a working news photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advantage of his size has been seen often by the Saigon press corps. As photographers jam together, elbowing, pushing, clawing for the right picture angle of an arriving dignitary or a crowded news conference, who squirms through? Lo Manh Hung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He snakes through a crowd on all fours, emerges in the front of the lot and clicks happily away with the best angle of all. He is so short he never blocks those behind and they let him be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/073ba457204e1e91f756fe9cc3d146aa\/tumblr_inline_nne36laeDm1sagxyf_500.jpg\" alt=\"image\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Youth no barrier<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lo Manh Hung, a 12 year old Saigon photographer, snaps one of the many war pictures he takes in that embattled city.
