Visiting friends in Manila, Philippines I photographed their son "Cowboy" and his Scout friends for an impromptu group photo. I made this photo using a Nikon FM with a 105mm lens and 35mm Extachrome film. April 1983. View full size.
Thank you for that photo, brings back a lot of memories. In the '70s, I knew a number of American (BSA) scouts; these youngsters were sons of US Embassy employees. Every year, the Scouts, Filipinos and Americans, walked the same route as the Bataan Death March. Went in two phases. Short march (weekend overnighters) from Mariveles to Mt Samat. The more hardy continued on to the monument at Cabanatuan (took several more days).
