Cool photojournalistic piece

A photographer followed a recent high school grad (recent as in 2007) from his graduation all the way through basic training and then all the way through his deployment, and subsequent return, in iraq. pretty cool stuff, i must say.

Very nice photo blog. The photog could have white balanced the night shots a bit better. Kind of comforting to see that even the much vaunted Nikon D3 has trouble white balancing.

That's awesome, very well done.

Kudos to our boys and girls overseas, God bless them all.

Good photo essay.

Out of those 84 incredibly executed shots, your best comment is a jab at Nikon?


I thought the series was incredible. Imagine how his family will have this forever, and what he can show his children. I love the emotion captured in every shot. I never thought for even a split second about what camera gear was being used...

An amazing collection of shots. They really are a piece to see.
Thank you for posting this!

Wow... thank you for sharing!

The thing I can't get over is just how how young they all look/are.

That is a lot of images, I wish I had the time to look at each one for a while instead of just skimming through them quickly. I'm sure they would look absolutely AMAZING printed at a huge size, those cameras have incredible detail. Very vivid looking, nice PP work and probably more importantly how well he used the lighting to capture the powerful emotions.

really moving stuff. Great shots too and even the once that might have a little motion blur or are slightly oof have so much emotion.

Very cool set. Yeah, they look so young.

Ha, cool, neat to see this link here. I did the music for this project.

Just for your information, Craig Walker just won the Pulitzer prize for these photos. They are cheering in the newsroom now.

That was fantastic! Thanks for sharing that. As I viewed this series, I could definitely emote with what was going on.

Thanks for the link. He did a great job with it.
