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.

Trinkets for sale
A sweet little girl with neatly combed back hair trying to sell cheap beaded necklaces to GI’s and other tourists near a beach location somewhere in Vietnam or Thailand - 1973. She was very successful with her cute childish charm … who could resist spending a buck (maybe even less) this way. This was very common as the parents rightfully recognized the kids would do much better than they could ever hope to do.
