Photographer's Bio Robert Hodierne, certain that the war in Vietnam would blow over before he could finish college, dropped out in 1966 and went to Saigon to work as a freelance photographer, a stringer in the terms of the day. He stayed until the summer of 1967. After finishing college, he returned again in early 1969 and left in the spring of 1970. He covered the war from the DMZ in the north to the Mekong Delta in the south, from the Central Highlands to the coastal plains. He photographed soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen and Vietnamese civilians caught up in the war. After Vietnam, Hodierne gave up photography for reporting and editing.
