It’s mesmerizing to see the photos one comes across while searching for snapshots of old Saigon online. At times, it seems that many of those who were lucky enough to afford a camera back then hadn't quite mastered the nuances of photography yet.
Dutch photographer Henk Hilterman, however, wasn’t one of them; his work, as shown below, is nothing short of amazing. The crisp, brightly lit photos give us a glimpse into life in Vietnam in 1967 through the eyes of young children. Judging by Hilterman’s shots, living conditions in the country half a century ago weren't good for all of its citizens.
