Comment
Unusually large print of a "reportage photograph", which thus reveals Hahn's origins in the field of amateur photography. He is considered one of the most distinguished war photographers in South Vietnam, whose pictures have also been shown in many exhibitions.
Here, the close-up soldier - whose head is in line with the row of his comrades - is aligned the road to be built through skillful image composition.
