Description

Again, while in Vietnam in August it's very hot and the humidity is almost intolerable. You feel like if you take a deep breath you could almost drown. If a storm comes through it could be very violent with heavy rains. I experienced many like that including one during a firefight(extra attention and focus needed) but one storm in particular while we were on patrol and making a 'Cordon sweep' in a village and as the villagers were scurrying for cover, I saw a child with fear across her face clinging to her mother. For some reason that really affected me and so I took a picture. When I reflect back on the past (and I do that alot) I like to capture some images and relate to them by putting into painting (because it is very difficult and I don't have the time to do that In Metal Sculpture, unless it's a commission) so when the concept has developed - it's off to the canvas - err - computer.
