The Snapshots in Time Collection
Civilian Street Scene, Hai Ba Trung Street, Saigon, 1968
This 35mm color slide, part of a personal collection from the 1968 Tet Offensive period, depicts a quiet civilian moment on a Saigon street rather than combat. Pedestrians, parked motorbikes, and a movie poster advertising local cinema reflect the rhythms of daily urban life in South Vietnam's capital even as the surrounding conflict unfolded, offering a valuable civilian counterpoint to the military imagery more commonly associated with this turbulent year.
