Rural Vietnamese funeral, Tho Ha, VIetnam.
Nov 16 2024
It began as an X-Peditions photo-outing to Rice Paper Village. Arrived when I noticed a big event: funeral for a village matriarch.
I followed the funeral from start to the end of the public part. When the middle aged daughters kneeled in front of the burnt spirit money, an elder tapped my shoulder indicating it was time to go. And I did.
I was the only foreigner out there. I wouldnt have gone had the elder woman with her grandson in the orange headband not indicated it was OK.

Of note:
Drummer Gavin was kicking out Max Roach licks [see Herbie Nichols’ The Complete Blue Note Recordings]. The guitarist Varad was tight. When getting his name right, found out he was Indian. Asked him if he’d heard “Miles From India”, where Indian musicians tackled and aced Miles Davis tunes. He hadnt, was intrigued.
“Were their rythms ‘taka-taka-taka-tik-taka etc”
“Yes”
“Def South Indian.”

“Meadowview Crossing”

This is the sole remains of my undergraduate photo 101. I’d shot the neg for this over Xmas break 1974, Sackatomato CA.

My mom Pat had remarried in 73 to her 2nd hubs Jack. Their new house in Sackatomato was so small, I was camping out in a freezing camper trailer in their driveway. Bro RG lived in that tiny house w Jack’s mom too. Between ennui holiday moments I remember riding up to Auburn for some reason, five-up in Jack’s massive station wagon. RG and I were thinking only of w**d and escape.

Tech detail: Original was thin neg shot w Diana camera, 120 format. Meadowview RR Xing was about 1/2mi from that South Sac suburban crackerbox development.

Back in Ohio, Feb 75, I put this neg into enlarger, bumped it up to 11x14 whatever, used a garden-hose Rapidograph pen to make the outlines. Then cut masks for silkscreens [spot, split fountain]. Pulled maybe 5 prints. Money was always tight.

Prayed for a FL spring break that never arrived.
