The boots in the road is a great shot, says a lot. 

This is crazy, talk about picking your shots carefully:

One photographer, Tram Am, only had a single roll of film, 70 frames, for the duration of the war.

The war lasted 20 years.

Wow, incredible images.

Just finishted reading Don Mc. Cullin`s book ¨shaped by war¨, even more interesting than his images are his comments on them.

Thanks for posting. It really make you wonder if you could cope under such conditions

'We even came up with a new form of flash photography to illuminate our fighters and villagers who were living in bomb shelters and tunnels. We emptied gunpowder from rifle cartridges onto a small handheld device and then lit the gunpowder with a match. The burning powder provided all the light we needed.'

 I suppose necessity is the mother of invention
