Portraits of Vietnam - 1968
Paul Emma, a graduate of Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts), with a BFA in Photography served in Vietnam in 1968 as a Psychological Operations (PSY-OPS) photographer. As noted on this beautiful website, "Stationed in Bien Hoa, he grew to know and care for the Vietnamese people and in his time off-duty, he photographed the men, women and children whom he met, often times only with a Poloroid camera, or using film processed under inadequate conditions." The photographs are very powerful and give a wonderful view of Vietnam and its people. This is a must visit website.
