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.

Tiger Balm Gardens Singapore
One of many colorful Chinese Mythological characters at Tiger Balm Gardens in Singapore -1973. A fun side trip while on R&R. This is one of three Tiger Balm locations ... the other two are in Hong Kong and Fujian China. This one in Singapore was first called Tiger Balm Gardens when opened in 1937, but was then renamed to Haw Par Villa for many years before reverting back to original name recently.
