1 judge judy November 19, 2008 at 12:59 am: are his photos online anywhere?
2 R. Elgin November 19, 2008 at 1:24 am: I will try to write Mr. Rich and encourage him to put out a book. Even if he made a blurb.com book, I would buy that; the few shots I saw were great.
3 Baek du boy November 19, 2008 at 8:00 am: #1 You can see some of them on at link at the side.

I can recognice Seoul in one photo. Looks like the troops are on Bukhan san and photo is looking south. You can see Namsan and the outline of Gwanaksan.
4 globalvillageidiot November 19, 2008 at 8:17 am: Great photographs. Hopefully the entire collections finds its way online at some point.

#3 – It does look like they’re on Bukhansan. (Great place to hike, but no doubt a terrible place to have to lug around equipment and fight.) I’d love to know the date that photo was taken.
5 CactusMcHarris November 19, 2008 at 10:07 am: They were great photos, but a little research would have shown that that likely wasn’t an opium pipe Mr. Yangban Hallabonim was holding.
6 eujin November 19, 2008 at 11:51 am: Not directly related, but some round here may be interested in the story of Mr Bergstrom, who was a foreign admirer of the Khmer Rouge and is now back in Cambodia to say “sorry, I was wrong”.
