Description
Children in Vietnam flocked to us wherever we went. Their actions gave me far more than I could ever give them in return. This reaction was enthusiasm over a pack of gum or a little candy. I am still amazed today.
Ninety percent of the photos I took in Vietnam in 1965-66 were taken using Kodak B&W film. B&W could be processed locally. I wish I had taken a picture of the Photography store...in a thatched, grass hut...HONEST!
Color film was readily available but it had to be mailed back to Kodak in the US or Australia for processing. I couldn't possibly wait that long:-)
This photo is from the same box in my basement as the three photos in these previous posts:
1. Mekong River Eel
2. Ten Faces
3. 1965
Thanks for all your outstanding support and favorites.

Once again, my friend! Stunning in it's innocence and brilliance! And a thatched photo processing store! And we are always told 'NO! you can't do that! No light! Mustn't do this!!'. Makes you wonder doesn't it? Ways to make money in the West I think!! Great photos from 'The Box'! More, my friend. More! Rob.

The joy on their faces is enough to bring a tear to your eye.
Oh my sorry I missed these, I will come back and view the rest but for now I promised I would go out and get dinner for Erin so off to do that .. her last day of spring break she just got back home from a week in Florida.. enjoy your night. xo
Fantastic! We had so much respect for 12, then 24 and 36 back along the way. And for the wait!
A fine phot showing kids are kids wherever you go. I hope they all survived the war.
