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.

Monsoon Rains
People on bicycles and on foot scrambling for cover under open marketplace. Blinding rain and deafening noise from the metal roofs were very common during the afternoon thunderstorms or almost anytime during monsoon season. I don’t recall where this was in 1972 … possibly the Philippines which really gets clobbered by the rain. Also puzzled by yellowish, tower-like structure behind the shed. These downpours could last for hours. By the look of empty racks of bottles maybe the folks didn't mind waiting if the beer was flowing.
