Vietnam

Dear Sir,
The Vietnam War Happened when I was still in Infancy as a professional  photographer.
Through the years , as I have grown professionally - and emotionallly, I realise that
much of my inspiration to see the world has come abt. through the extremely strong images of the "war" that I let slip .
Vietnam was a sad war; a war that the Americans and their allies could not win. It really wasn't their war. It was a war  fought by the "Upper Ups". I greive for the  boys who were lost. Some of them are now my heros.
Sean Flynn, Tim Page,Eddie Adams, Terance Khoo and Sam Kai Fey (both Singaporeans - but rebels in their time and  I proudly salute them!!!)
I did have the honour of being an aquiantiace of Khoo who in his hey days, gave me my first 35mm Nikon wide angle lens.
Today, Sir, I am an accomplished and respected professional photographer working for an extremely big and powerful publishing house and heading their Photo Dept.
I wish I could have been there. War is never plesant but recording it besides yr. heroes... that's something else.
To all you war photograhers out there.. SALUTE' ....gimme a job fashion and all this rubbish just don't cut it...
they just don't make photographers like they used too
