I was commissioned by Wentworth Military Academy and Junior College in Lexington, Missouri in 1999 this 400 pound bronze relief sculpture installed at the eave of the new General Tillotson Barracks designed in by H&M architects. The piece was installed in 2000. The rifles used for a model is a 19th century Springfield Musket which represents the origin of this iconic insignia and emblem symbol of the U.S. Infantry and combined with other variations such as tanks and artillery were used for several other identity insignia such as the 1st Armored Division(Hell on Wheels). The cross rifle insignia most recognized is the brass pin secured to the lapel of the dress uniform of an infantry soldier. This sculpture together welded into a 4’x8’ rectangle covering a space of 32 square feet. The casting was done in three pieces and a hot patina was used to finish the surface of the nickel and brass bronze. / The sculpture represents the honor the insignia reflects regarding the history of the U.S. infantry in combat and in peace as well.

A small chapter in my book of life! Posting this in order to submit to the upcoming Military Insignia challenge. Airborne! These are the original jumpwings I earned on my 5th jump at the Basic Airborne School in Ft. Benning, GA. They were pinned on my chest by my Jumpmaster, it was one of those “special” days in my life.

This was part of a ground team assault demonstration at the October airshow at MCAS Mirimar. Theses copters came in all at the same time, dropped their men off and took off all at the same time. Love the coordination and teamwork. These guy really knew what they were doing. I’m glad to have them guarding my back. =) And I also love the way this looks cropped and edited. =)

I captured this image of the commissioning of the USS Harry S. Tuman on 7-21-1998, over 11 years ago. I was very lucky to get on board the Spirit of Norkolk cruise to get this capture.Then president, Bill Clinton was on board for the ceremony. I recently pasted the two F18 Hornets {top left} from images I captured near the Norfolk Naval Air Station to make for a better poster. / Canon EOS 630 Kodak 400 / & Canon 20D w Canon 75/300 / Cokin color filter & post- PSP /

I thought I’d capture a solo portrait of the center soldier in the Vietnam Memorial statue. This was shot with the lens wide open. I haven’t used this lens in quite awhile so, I forgot just how sharp it is.
