Impressive shot, and very good photo. I am truly amazed at what I've seen. It must have been tough for that little one if he is smoking.
We all must remember that these are war children and things were very tough for them in these years.
I would have done the same thing ^.^

If the portriat was not so focused on his face you would be able to ses the ak-47 he is holding ...

this is just weird..
he looks like a 40 year old or something
smoking like that..
it should be banned..
its appauling and honestly disgraceful..
under any circumstances this should definetly be banned..

I don't imagine many youngsters were able to hold onto any
of the innocence children of this age should possess.
When I see photos like this, I always wish I could know the
rest of the story of his life. Perhaps he lives in Southern
California in Westminster. There are many Vietnamese communities
in this area.
This is excellent. I hope you gave up smoking...smile

I guess they thought every thing the soldiers did was great... also smoking.....

Another great shot. I guess this one should be one of your great collections in Vietnam, right ?

Traumatic image, hooked on the weed. v

Again a wonderful portrait, the way how you captured the war in the eyes of a soldier is more valuable than th official photos...thanks Richard.

This is thought provoking, Simon. Hard to believe someone so young would smoke, and seem so at ease doing so! V
Sam_C 01-Jul-2007 02:30
WoW! Very strong image. A kid that young smoking like a pro...wow!! V

A powerful image that is very impactual.

I don't know in what side he was, but I'm sure that his life wasn't easy.
Galina Stepanova 30-Jun-2007 22:23
Who knows...
Great journalistic approach, Richard.

Kathy Pedersen 30-Jun-2007 20:27
Smoking at such a young age is so disturbing to see,( Not to mention the war itself) I agree with Claudia, I would not trust him as well. Great Journalism!
Guenter Eh 30-Jun-2007 19:35
Impressiv shot! He was born into the war...! Which choice and what kind of orientation did he got? I don`t know...
Tomasz Dziubinski Photography 30-Jun-2007 18:40
Excellent shot, Voted.
BleuEvanescence 30-Jun-2007 18:09

to trust him...
