oh yes Here is a link to the original article in NYTimes ...that photo I showed was on the cover & I was obsessed w/ it. It was a part of a photography exhibit at the ICP in NYC & later a book was made w/ Natl Geographic. www.nytimes.com/2002/03/01/a...
"Like their American counterparts, the Vietnamese photographers worked under harsh conditions -- mud, heat, humidity, ever-shifting front lines. But the Vietnamese photojournalists didn't have multiple cameras, unlimited film, a flash or a darkroom. They usually carried one camera and a meager film
supply; some worked with big heavy 1940's Kodak press cameras. They created artificial lighting with a hand-held device loaded with gunpowder. And they developed film at night along mountain streams." It looks like it was Doug Niven who tracked these photographers down. @11tulips.bsky.social

images despite having bulky or little equipment... the power of their "messaging" showed me why they won the war & we didn't (patriotic, vs our "war is bad" message)
Thanks!
