Description
Berlin, Germany, 1970. Unbound. Very Good. A collection of 2075 black and white photographs of a U.S. soldier stationed in Germany during Vietnam along with images from his work as a photo technician with the military contractor Raytheon. The photographs, measuring approximately between 2.5” x 3” and 8.5” x 11”, are very good with dried glue on some of the versos and some rolled, and some with captions. A substantial archive of photographs taken by a skill photographer stationed in Berlin, Germany from the mid-1960s to the late-1970s. A majority of the photographs show soldiers working and off-duty around the base. There are also images of a military parade with tanks and military vehicles showing Vietnam War protesters with signs and pictures of President Lyndon B. Johnson, and Queen Elizabeth. There are a great number of photographs around Berlin during Christmas, as well as numerous images of buildings, homes, churches, and bridges including several pictures taken from a helicopter. The compiler was a skilled photographer with many of the images featuring bokeh, light painting, and double exposure effects. There are also several photographic negatives of a young naked man posing in a garden, with both full body shots and close ups of the man’s genitalia and buttocks. Census records reveal that the photographer never married and this may indicate his interest was confined to men. The remaining photos were taken in American with his family, showing his mother, sister, and brother. There is also an interracial couple with their children that was he presumably close to, interacting with them as the couple with his family at a gathering, suggesting a progressive environment. He worked as a photo lab technician for Raytheon, a manufacturer of weapons and military electronics, as well as commercial electronics for the public. Photos from the 1970s showing a Raytheon press event including images of motherboards and specially designed electronics designed for weapons and computers. Most notable is photos of a watch that has a camera hidden within its face. Our research found nothing about a camera watch developed by Raytheon, suggest it was a nonworking proto-type or has remained classified. An extensive archive of photographs taken by a skilled U.S. soldier stationed in Berlin during the Vietnam War and his postwar career with a military contractor.
