Larry Burrows-Mutter Ridge

[Alan W]

Not being a big fan of colour photography,it comes as a surprise to me that I keep returning to Burrows Mutter Ridge photo-you know the one,black marine with a white blood stained bandage moving toward another marine,white,possibly dead/dying,torn pants,left hand clutching a narrow tree trunk.I'm mesmerized by this photo and have been for many,many years.Well the question is this-how do I go about getting a good copy of the original and or a reprint faithful to the original.Are there any members who've bought somewhwere on the web,that they can recommend,thanks as always for any suggestions.

Sorry I can't point you at a good place to get the copy you're interested in, Alan, but I do want to recommend the book "Lost Over Laos" by Horst Faas and Richard Pyle, if you're interested on Burrows and war photography in Vietnam.

Hadn't heard of it and I'll certainly look out for it,thanks.
