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.

Creative Transportation 1972
I kinda laugh every time I see this ... the guy pedaling in front must have lost the bet. And why the heck is he carrying a bag in his hand with all the room on the cart ... maybe it contains his valuables and he does not trust his buddy in back. Here's what I call a mega bike trailer putting today's tiny modern ones to shame. Photo taken somewhere in Taiwan ... probably Taichung - 1972. If you want it, they probably have it on that trailer.
