As a professional photographer, I use whatever props are necessary in order to get a message across. In this case, I used my own decorations. An interesting after effect was that most of the people I worked with didn't even know I was a veteran, let alone a Viet-Nam Vet. And, after that, they started taking me out for lunch on Veterans Day. (published in VIM & VIGOR Magazine, Spring issue, 1987). My shadow box used for props.
