Once Upon a Time



"Once Upon a Time"

"In a Galaxy Far, Far Away"..:-)

I was sorting out some old photographs, (a trip down memory lane), and came across this one of myself.

I was in Aden at the time and this picture was taken in the Wadi Taym, during the Radfan War, in 1964.

Anyone interested in seeing more information about the Radfan, can find it

Here...

From slinging a gun to slinging a paint brush you sure have covered a lot of ground, this giving your work it's spirited life.
