Fresh out of high school I joined the Air Force. I had the most dysfunctional family imaginable so I couldn't wait to grow up and run away. I didn't know what to expect when I got to Vietnam. I imagine in my crazy head I was like Ulysses in \"Homer's Odyssey\" which we had read and re-read in Theodore Roosevelt High School. Bronx, New York. I also had read Ernest Hemingway and he influenced my decision to sign up to go to Vietnam. I always was interested in photography and took pictures of my family, friends, and while I was in Vietnam. I would switch from cameras like Kodak's to more sophisticated ones like Canon, Yashica, Ricoh, and Pentax. It didn't matter which camera it was as most of the time I was experimenting with them and snapped photos of whatever interested me. The pictures here date from 1970-71 and I'm thrilled to present them in this book. To all my friends I traveled with across the sea in a Homeric Odyssey, this is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 26, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42167679189127,"sku":"9781522877684","price":33.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/f51bf6f1db5e5a328ee0f8d6b8c7abdb.webp?v=1733329554","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/transit-vietnam-a-soldiers-photographic-war-odyssey-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
