anton's photos in vietnam

he dared play with lights and shadows.
he focused on the passenger on the other side and not joy. i like the effect.
i said, this is a great shot! you showed scale of the mountain with good framing. he just shrugged his shoulders.
even this! ... and he just smiled.
he used flash for the first time. i had to remind him that tito wam does not like using too much flash.
the first vietnamese tank that broke through the gates of the presidential palace putting a symbolic end to a horrible war.

he used the canonet g3 ql17 at full manual mode*, hardly assisted, with kodak gold films that are slightly expired. and i now regret not giving him better films. i should have been the one using the expired films.

(*i thought the built-in light meter has finally conked out but, when i checked under better light back here at home, it was just corrosive contact points.)
