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.

To market we go
When not drinking beer or smoking cigarettes we occasionally had to eat. Here is one of the many busy open air market places where the brave could go on a culinary adventure … 1971 unknown location. Actually did not buy much here at the market given our delicate Western stomachs … opting instead to buy Americanized stuff at the airbase exchange. Doubt there were any health inspectors in the vicinity, or care to speculate what the wet spot on the ground in the photo might be. Appears young boy on right side of photo couldn't decide which way he wanted the stripes to go :-)
