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.

Brickyard in Taiwan
Brickworks in Taichung, Taiwan – 1971. Very interesting industry and building … did not look inside but wish I had gone up the precarious stairs on the left for a quick peek. Bicycles, railed dollies loaded with red bricks, and common 3-wheeled motorized carts are hint of the manual labor involved in the operation. Everyone wearing wide straw hats for protection from the heat and sun. Brick and concrete structures were very common in the area.
