Any photos from Vietnam?

[Hikingman]

There's many threads with mention of 'taking' MF photos in Vietnam. Let's see some examples, or links. (35mm or other formats, too!)

I just returned from Laos and Vietnam yesterday. No pictures from that trip developed yet, but I've posted some from previous Vietnam trips in the gallery. Here's one:

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

I work with three people at Ft Sam Houston, TX who served in VN. I'll ask him if they want to share.

If you want to see some fairly currant photos of Viet Nam and S.E. Asia google the word "vincenzooli" and wade through his extensive catalogue. He just returned from there the end of January, and is still uploading from his trip. BTW its my cousin.

Any veteran's with dusty old photos from Vietnam in the 60's or 70's?

Check out Vincenzooli , Thailand 71 & 72 set, when he was in the Air Force.

I hope you will pardon the scans, they are from snapshot size pics from an album and the condition after 40 years isn't great.

These were all shot with a manual Pentax SV, my first 'real' 35mm camera. I tried carrying it with me wherever I went while stationed in Vietnam, Oct '67 thru Oct '68. I had the dubious honor of witnessing the Tet Offensive. The first shot is the barracks next to ours after taking a hit from 122mm rocket. The next is the morning after the initial attack. Things would get fairly quiet during the daylight hours, then start anew after dark. This went on for about 4 days for us, with each successive day/night the activity diminished. This is a squad member we called "John Wayne" for the incredibly dumb things he did while under fire.

The last two are among my favorites. They were taken while strolling about, then, Saigon prior to Tet. I wish I still had the negatives, but I don't know what happened to them.

I returned in Dec. from Vietnam and Cambodia. I have 1600 photos but unfortunately they are D!%#$&@.
Saigon, Phnom Penh, Hanoi and Sapa.

I talked to one of the veterans I work with and he's willing to share the 300-400 images he has that he took himself.

He wants to know:
1. What are you going to do with them?
2. Anything specific regarding sujbect matter?

 

[Mike1234]

In addition to my previous post, the vet with the pics wants to know...

1. Are you a Vietnam vet?
2. What unit were you with?
3. When were you there?

I'm not a Vietnam Vet, though I served in the USAF. Dad flew as AC on C-130 missions into Vietnam.

I will not be copying anyone's photos from forums or other sites.

I'll upload the images to a folder on photobucket and PM the link. I can't do that until tonight and it might take awhile.

My father served in Vietnam. I know he purchased my first medium format camera there, a Seagull 4A TLR. Most of what he shot there was 35mm, but there was some 120 with the Seagull. You can view his images in the link below (229 photos). Be sure to tell him I sent you!

I uploaded 361 images taken by my co-worker in Vietnam when he was deployed there in 1967. The images are small and I don't know anything about them.

Sure took me back in time, thanks for the link. We didn't have beaches though, wish we did.

Sunset in the Gulf of Tonkin -- 1968

Taken from the deck of USS Ponchatoula (AO-148). 35mm Kodachrome, Petri FT 50mm 1.4. Sure wish I'd owned an MF camera back then, but a poor young sailor's paycheck didn't allow it.

Content-wise these are a little fluffy compared to all the vet conversation...but they're nice Vietnam photos from a Flickr contact of mine, shot with a Pentax 67 and a Yashica Mat 124G.
