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.

Young kid in Taiwan
Well here I am standing outside our rented house in Taichung, Taiwan sporting polyester of the early 70’s, skinny as can be, and pushing the limits of Air Force hair length. Our house was oddly across the street from a miniature golf course that no one ever used. A small rice patty in background seemed out of place in this mostly residential area. Construction was mainly plain, unattractive, two story concrete buildings … many were surrounded by high concrete walls with locked metal gates … first story windows barred. Needless to say theft was an issue here as we only spent about one week a month here when not flying in Vietnam. Hey dude, check out that wristwatch band.
