I busted out the 'ol time machine this last weekend and headed back to the 60's during the Vietnam war. Armed with my futuristic camera I was able to capture some great color photographs. Hope you enjoy this look at the past.

    I'm not sure I'm ready for a Vietnam reenactment. That said, they are well done.
    Cheers,

    Howdy David,

    Great series, really wonderful details and hardhitting images.

    Really like all the sharpness and tones in each image.

    Very nicely done.
    Take care,

    Thanks everyone, it's definitely an experience in itself being there photographing it. As for the guns, yes sone people used M4's, not everyone can afford to be period correct, but the image above is more of a Car-15, which was being used back in the 60's. An easy way to tell is the M4's we are familiar with today has a removable carry handle on the top rail system :D

    And I do wish we had more jungles in Washington, but alas haha
