[ above ] “Redemption” was photographed in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, while I served
as a military photojournalist during Operation Iraqi Freedom. This photograph
captures a Marine approaching a helicopter on our camp. I love the symbolism in this
photograph. I feel very conflicted about my service in the Army - I’m proud to have
served my country but also know (in my soul) that war is not the answer. The area
where I served deals with violence to this day ... what did we accomplish by invading,
I often wonder.
[ right ] “Joyous Simplicity”
was photographed in the
Peruvian Amazon - in a
wonderful town along the
Ucayali River. It brings me
great joy traveling around the
world and getting a chance
to meet people from other
cultures. I loved the time I
spent in this small village
and plan to return one day.
