Personal photos/text taken in/out of Vietnam combat zone from perspective of copilot on USAF C-130 345th Tactical Airlift Crew. Not just about the war, but also about the people/places of the region during 1972. This is where I got my first Nikon film SLR which turned into lifelong passion albeit now Canon digital SLR. The photos are recent digital scans from old 35mm slides wasting away in hot/cold attic for 40 years. Extensive Photoshop editing has been used to make them somewhat presentable.

Aberdeen Harbor Hong Kong
Aberdeen Harbor, Hong Kong 1972. Spent several days here with C-130 crew on a rare and special good deal assignment. Pictured is a mass of entangled junks on which many families spent most of their lives on the water. Watercraft of all shapes and sized clogged the harbor … I couldn’t discern any obvious traffic patterns beyond chaos … but than why should it be any different than the streets and roads there. The kids in right side of photo didn’t mind the camera while older women on left clearly did not like being photographed … family dog in lower left indifferent.
