I just found this while google-ing my name tonight, and I thought it a fun comparison,

Both of these photos were taken of the exact scene, at the exact moment in time.

This is mine:

This is the photo taken by the Stars and Stripes Photographer who was there to take photos:

(FYI I'm the half-person in the right side of the frame in 6 of 9)

I'm no pro, but I think I did a pretty good job capturing the moment in comparison.

I wish could have swapped places with the man standing across from me, and gotten both of the Afghan Policeman's faces, but at the time that would have been less appropriate for me to do.

I remember that day being so hot....

That's, well, impressive that you could come away with a photo of such a thing and be a part of the "big picture", and can then share it with us...it touches something in the way that the "anonymous" Web site can't!
