Robert Capa, now it comes back. Another great one. His negs were ruined by an ass in the lab. Sorry I put Duncan in the grave. I'll blame
it on age.

No appology neccessary...as a former military photographer during the Vietnam war all these guys were my heroes...Larry Burrows, Duncan, Capa and many more...After the military I returned to finish college. It was my honor and thrill to meet David Duncan at an ASMP conference in South Florida in the early 70's. Got to spend some time with him, show him some work and talk at some length. One of the highlights of my life...

You were fortunate indeed to meet and work, in the same theatre/era, as these guys.

I think that was maybe why the names Duncan and Capa became so familiar to me.
I recall our Newspapers posting pics from Vietnam (and of course there were NZ & Australian
soldiers fighting as well).

In NZ we hosted many soldiers from America on R & R from Vietnam. (hated them of course,
as our girls thought they looked so cool in their uniforms :) )

After college I worked for the Pacific Daily News, Guam. Spent many years there. I kept running into people from either NZ or Australia (Boy can they tip a few of those big cans of Fosters...) very good times. I heard nothing but great things about NZ and always wanted to visit. When I win the lottery that will be my first distintion. I also have a special place in my heart for your country because of the manner in which you treated our soldiers...unlike our own country and people...
In much more recent times I stumbled upon a group of your citizens on YouTube. I have become a huge fan...my favorite video is "It's a Heartache, The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra." Good Lord they are wonderful and have so much fun...

ALSO...I pray for one and all following your quake...

Thanks for the link. The Cafe Culture is alive and well in Wellington, for sure.

I have 2 main interests in my life these days. Photography and getting away in the Campervan.
I was in Wellington a few weeks ago. It's about 550 Kms from here.
Took some pics while there and will post when I get home, for you.
All taken from the wharf area.
Wellington is, I think, now NZs prettiest city. (And is the Capital of course).

I was born and bred there. Wouldn't live there if you paid me tho.
The weather is 70% terrible.
Mid winter here today. Temp in Tauranga where I live about 15 degrees.
Wellington about 4 degrees and probably blowing, and earthquaking!
(Grew up with the earthquakes).
But still love the City.

And of course, even here, not everyone was for the Vietnam War.
We had protests and debates.
Seems to me tho, one of the differences between the NZ/Australian Culture, and the rest of the World, almost,
Is our protests are mainly peaceful.
NZers don't seem to get caught up in the mass hysteria that other countries do. Well, historically, so far, anyway.

Cheers
