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.

Water Buffalo Cart
The spectrum of types in Vietnam 1972 transportation was almost infinite … whether it was motor, animal, or people powered. Here an old follow in straw hat is creeping along to the hoofed beat of his water buffalo. The cart is combo of truck wheels and a piece of metal chassis complimented by a simple framework of bamboo, rope, and wood. Buffalo licking his nose as neither was in a hurry to be anywhere, as they blended in with other types of traffic where implicit rules of the road seemed to be functioning extremely well.
