In 1967, David H. Lyman was a Navy Photojournalist attached to a Seabee Outfit (MCB-71) stationed in Chu Lai, Vietnam. In the summer of 2007, 40 years later, fellow Vietnam Vet Deryle Perryman interviewed David as a class project for The Art of The Interview Workshop at The Film Workshops in Rockport, Maine - the school David founded and ran for 34 years. That interview and David's photographs and his experience in Vietnam are the subject of this short video. The music soundtrack " A Camera And A Curious Mind" was written by Vincent Gabriel - aka - Blind Albert, recorded, mixed and mastered at Blind Albert Studios - Warren, Maine. www.myspace.com/blindalbert
