FRANCE

I had the great good fortune to be sent to France by the U.S. Army in April of 1965--just shy of the Vietnam buildup. I was stationed in Orleans, a rather colorless city an hour south of Paris. My only job for the two years I served was to keep the mail moving while we cleared the country by orders of deGaulle.

By then I had graduated from the Rollei to a 35mm Pentax. Most these shots were taken one morning in the seaside town of Honfleur in Normandy in 1964.  It was market day, and the street scenes continued to shift—-as I passed by.
