An American photographer (left) talks to a civilian, probably also a photographer (right), at a market in a village in Yunnan province.
Between the two men is a modified 35mm Bell 7 Howell Eyemo. It was modified to use 400 ft film magazines. The lens board up front is unique. This was possibly Chinese modification. The power cable is wrapped around the front of the lens, so it's obviously modified to be motor driven. The tripod is not a US tripod.
Who is the cameraman on the right? He's dressed in "western style" clothes, so this may have been shot after the war ended in some place like Hong Kong or Shanghai. Might it be "Newsreel" Wong, an American who shot for "News of the Day" in China for years?
