Memoir Vietnam & SE Asia 1972

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.

Rice Patty Beast Power

Beast power, no gas required. Somewhere in SEA, 1973. Doing rice patty cultivation the old traditional way. Not sure what type of animal this is although it resembles the kind used in rodeos, but with a somewhat milder temperament. These rice patties were often directly next to some of the more remote runways we landed on.

It was commonly called a Water Buffalo. Nasty creatures.
