Psychedelic Rainbow Flower Girls

Here in the central highlands of Vietnam is a place, actually Dalat a small city, where the war

never really took place. It was a retreat for the Vietnamese, French and American so called 'elite' in

all time periods of the 20th century.

Walking around the streets one can often be hailed with,

"Good Morning Vietnam", from the motorcycle taxies of the Easy Rider Club looking for customers.

Please enjoy a totally unique vision of then and now

"Good Morning Vietnam" and "Easy Rider." As reflected by Dennis Hopper and Robbin Williams in their roles in . "Good Morning Vietnam" and "Easy Rider", two icons of a generation now almost past.

Fairy Rainbow Girl. Icon of peace and beauty.

Army DJ Adrian Cronauer was deployed to Vietnam to host a morning radio program which often played the psychedelic music and mood of the times. Cronauer's comedic riffs were so popular with the troops as well as the locals, it set the mood for this town of Dalat Vietnam. Cronauer is played in the movie by the incomparable Robbin Williams in the movie of the same name

"Good Morning Vietnam."

There is the "Original" Easy Rider Club, the "Authentic" Easy Rider Club, the "New" Easy Rider Club now and so on. One can take their pick when choosing a motorcycle taxi. They do motorcycle rides

all over the Central Highlands of Vietnam as day as well as multi day trips.

Psychedelic Fashion Cosplay. All locally hand sewn fashion clothing.

I was approached by someone who said they worked in the Delta in the late 1960's and wanted to use my Psychedelic Cosplay Girl photographs in his book about his experience there in the Delta.

I declined, as my work is original to my time period here in the central highlands now, and these young women know nothing of the war.

It is a new time, a new generation, a new beauty and

a new style. In my creative mind there are still some colorful threads of the psychedelic

mind set of my youthful time in life.
