A soldier's eye: rediscovered pictures from Vietnam
He shot nearly 2,000 images between March 1968 and May 1969 before taking the negatives home. And there they sat, out of sight, but not out of mind, for 45 years, until a chance meeting brought them out of dormancy and into a digital scanner. At first, it was very difficult for Haughey to view the images and talk about them, especially not knowing the fates of many of the subjects of his photos. When the digitization hit 1,700 negative scans, Haughey put them on a slideshow and viewed them all at once, and didnt sleep for three days after. Hes slowly getting better at dealing with the emotional impact of seeing the images for the first time in decades.
A team of volunteers has worked with Haughey to plan a 28-image show, titled A Weather Walked In, which opens April 5th in the ADX art gallery in Portland, Oregon. The difficulty of keeping notes in a war zone along with the passage of decades has faded the details behind many of the images, and the captions reflect this fact, with many shots of unknown people in forgotten locations at unspecified times. It is hoped that publication of the pictures can yield more information. More images from the collection will be released as the project progresses. You can follow the progress on facebook and Tumblr. Thanks to Chieu Hoi project volunteer Kris Regentin for preparing much of this introduction and the accompanying captions. -

(50,773 posts)there are a bunch of places online that will do it too. Last time I did it, it cost about 15 cents a foot for a basic transfer with no sound. Of course there are always extras if you want to pay for it.

(11,417 posts)Can you recommend one?

(50,773 posts)I don't have any recommendations. I did it locally, back when I knew more people in the media industry. Perhaps there is a local video production company in your area that might have a suggestion.
There are projection kits you can buy to do it yourself but the quality isn't too hot.
I understand about being a little cautious entrusting your film out to a unknown entity. I would avoid the bulk, economy places. You may want to visit some cine chat rooms to see who the pros use. It might cost a little more but for quality and peace of mind it might be worth it.
