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.

Pedi-cab in Jakarta
Pedi-cabs were a common mode of cheap transportation found everywhere in Jakarta, Indonesia (1973) … this 3 wheeled push version was configured with the driver behind, instead of in front of the one-person passenger compartment. This machine was well worn with broken seat, a few spokes missing as was the bare-footed driver with tattered straw hat and shirt, and zero-fat, muscled legs.
