Blast From The Past – Early 1990 – This is a photo of me in the high mountains of Tibet, China on a photo assignment to cover the airlifting of a Sikorsky Helicopter by way of a USAF C-5 Aircraft. I took a Polaroid Instant Camera with me and used it to take pictures of the local residents.
Here I had just photographed a group of kids and they were all clamoring for the picture. Can’t recall which one got this picture, but I did a bunch more till all the film was gone. The kids thought it was magic to watch the photo develop before their eyes, as did many of the other folks!
This was my second and final trip to China before I retired from the Air Force.
