Over Here, Over There #1

steven broome,

I recently acquired a large selection of negatives – mostly American military in subject matter – from the Korean War era. These are not “military” in the sense of battles and engagements – but in the sense of everyday military life in the eyes of the American soldier.  I’ve posted a few of these recently on the Instagram account (@vintagecameradigest), but I thought I’d share here as well.

All of these are scans from the original medium format negatives. Enjoy!
