Nice. I always loved military themed things. There's just something about the heroic and emotional bonds forged in hellish situations.

awesome shot!

Im a huge fan of war photojournalism, and particularlly fan of Robert Capa.

That photo reminds me of the kind of shots he used to made. Pretty Close up.

I've thought in become war corresponsal myself, but I think I dont have the spirit to do it.

Jack!

thanks jack

While i'm not so sure Robert Capa should still be the hero he should be because of the accusations against him, he still did shoot great war photos

I'd love to be out there doing that too one day

Bonnedaddy In reply to Timothy-Sim [2010-03-16 17:20:37 +0000 UTC]

Im sorry, I didnt fully understand. Do you mean that he should not be taken as a hero? Or that he is unfairly not taken as one because of the accusations?

I worked with the Singaporean Navy for a couple days. Very nice people. Hospitable, as well. Singapore is expensive as hell, though.

The photo: I love the value in this. Very dramatic and almost purely black and white. The depth of this shot is precise and I love where it leads my eyes. Great job!!!
