photo notes:

     After I realized what the South Vietnamese combat police officer with the grenade was going to do. As I prepared to try to get some photos of it I wondered about the chances of shrapnel hitting me, so I dropped behind a protective obstacle.

     I remember it as a log, but it may have been something else.

     From that cover,  I  held the camera over the object and blindly clicked off manual shots.  I didn't have a motor drive then.

     I figured at worst I would suffer a dinged camera or a hand wound, and that seemed acceptable. Everything came out OK.
