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.

Candy and Kids
Cute, small child we had given chocolate candy to … wearing much of it on her face. Another child, perhaps the brother, looks on in the background of an open storefront somewhere near an airbase where we landed – Vietnam 1972. These kids did not have to wear much of any clothing in the warm temperatures. They didn’t seem too happy with blank stares on their faces … don’t know if we scared them, or if maybe they were already impacted by the wartime at that young age.
