Robert Hodierne, certain that the war in Vietnam
would blow over before he could finish college,  dropped
out in 1966 and went to Saigon to work as a freelance photographer, a stringer
in the terms of the day. He stayed until the summer of 1967. After finishing
college, he returned again in early 1969 and left in the spring of 1970.
He covered the war from the DMZ in the north to
the Mekong Delta in the south, from the Central
Highlands to the coastal plains. He photographed
soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen and Vietnamese
civilians caught up in the war. After Vietnam, Hodierne
gave up photography for reporting and editing.
