vietnamese girl

refuge girl; vietnam 1967 fleeing hue; please comment

a little blurry i know. i was a little shakky standing out in the open,i was trying to tell her she needed to get down, she didn,t understand what i was saying.

Understandably blurry with you being in danger of getting shot. Sometimes folks don't understand what the photographer is experiencing at the time and so they don't appreciate the image. I do understand and I think folks have been underrating it. Technically speaking, I'd say there's too much sky but on the other hand, maybe the darkness of it helps reinforce the mood of all the devastation that was happening there. Otherwise I think it's a decent documentary style shot. A powerful image that this girl, running to and from danger, can still find a smile for you. Congratulations. 6/5

Joe- you know I love this one. What a beautiful little girl!

Excellent document. Thanks for sharing your Vietnam photos. I'd love to see more.

i,ve post just about all the photos i have from vietnam that are nonvilant,or grusome,i,ll serch my archives and see if i have any others worthy of posting, that wouldn,t offend .

We still had a B&W television in 1967. I don't recall ever seeing many color images of the wars.

 

The film or slide must have kept well. The colors look very bright.
