Not sure who the little red gumboots belonged to, but made for a very powerful image when I visited a couple of weeks back. some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Jan Scruggs started the fund-raising in 1979 with $2,800 of his own money... Maya Ling's design was chosen from over 1,400 proposals submitted... i had heard (but can not confirm now) that there 30 sets of brothers, 8 women and 6 men from a town of only 500, whose names are on the wall... there are three sets of fathers and sons on the wall... the first American killed in vietnam wasnt added until 1999, because he was murdered by another American. i just learned that looking for the number of brother sets... Thanks for the facts Dave, you've done your research here. 58,318 remembered here, the grief spreads beyond that for a few generations to come. Just ask the grieving if it was worth the sacrifice, it changed their lives forever. Ray-P

With the ridiculous prices they charge there, it's amazing the thing wasn't finished years ago. Sorry to editorialize. Really nice shot! You're exactly right and I share your sentiment. That's exactly how I felt when I was there. It will look the same 20 years from now.

RoadDog Goldmember More info | Oct 26, 2019 09:02 | #133 whiteflyer wrote in post #18950659 Yep, I was there in 2003 and nothing looks to have changed, going to be the next century before they get it like the model. My understanding is that they turned down federal funds to complete the project because they were afraid the government would then tighten the purse strings and shut down the project... Just shut up and smile...
