Reflecting on Vietnam (a video)
This podcast takes you on a very short and personal trip to Vietnam.
The raw material for this podcast was captured in January of 2010 in Ho Chi Minh City, using an Olympus EP-1 camera, which records audio, video and still images. The final piece was assembled using Final Cut Pro.
Wonderful podcast, David!
Like you, I’m of the age where VN meant a war. One of my uncles was KIA at Cu Chi in 1966; I turned draft age in 1975.
As life turns, though, I married late and to a woman from Saigon. I was there in 2000 to get married; we spent a month in 2007 with our 4-year old twins visiting my wife’s family. I was awed, though not surprised, by the changes in 7 years. I expect that you and I will find more changes whenever we return.
BTW, I stumbled on your site from B&H Photo. I’m cameraless right now, but you, Kirk Tuck, Terry Shuchat locally, and a few others have really got me intrigued with the Olympus PEN series.
