Loading Up, Soldiers Load and Unload gear from Chinook in Afghanistan

Some thanksgiving day activities in Afghanistan,

Receiving some new Canadian Soldiers via Air. I liked the hair of the guy on the far left, got caught in the prop blast:

Mmmm, devilled eggs!

+1 on the deviled eggs.

It's a shame that they're not Marines, because we could call them Deviled Egg Dog. Nice series.

Nice series. Love photojournalistic shots. IMO, keep 'em in color.

Huh...deviled eggs eh? Wasn't expecting that one....

But I like the B/W conversions much better then the color. Especially the first one, the B/W conversion makes it look very CIA spy-ish to me lol

We got a huge shipment of eggs, and one of our guys said his family's tradition for thanksgiving was deviled eggs, so we decided to make a huge batch for everyone. They were awesome.

Even out in the middle of nowhere with the air support and availability of local bricks/charcoal/cookwa​re, we can get pretty creative outside the regular old army food

I like to convert to B&W using some fast B&W film grain modes in Silver Efx Pro, it does give it a range-finder-y, small discreet camera feel given the right framing and viewpoint.

Great shot there mate, love what the rotor wash did to his hair.
