I can see that if you ever leave the army…you’ll make a wonderful war photographer…having said that…I take it back. You already are a wonderful war photographer! This is amazingly well caught. As John says….love the wheels of smoke and also the cover of the truck.

thought provoking work in your folio…stunning framing and moments you have captured.
Ian Tilly
Exceptional captures and portfolio. You have great talent. As someone who has woken up to the crump and crack of mortars and incoming gunfire you bring back the memories, to my girlfriend who I don’t talk to about such things you show her what it looks like, with sympathy and without trying to glamorize it. Congratulations! I wish you all the best.
Aurora Pintore
excellent picture Phillip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damien Taylor
Great timing Phillip, like everyone else I like the dust being blown off the tyres, shows the impact and power of the mortar. My Father would like this shot as he was in a mortar platoon in WWII with the Coldstream Guards. By the way the crop works well on this too.
Megan Dacy
Your images are so powerful! This shot is incredibly amazing.
Simon Mears
Michael said it best for me…. this is way out there, you just nailed it here, but the dust coming off your wagon.. wow.

Brilliant shot! Love the light catching the dust!
Leah Highland
Excellent action capture.
The dust and dirt in the air really makes this one.
Jacqueline Baker
A truly unique image i’ve never seen one like it before and because of that it must surely belong in a book of some description. The dust is unbelievable and really does make this picture stand out!

Your work is so important. Never has a “war” gone so unsung in America. It curdles the spine. How have Americans become so dissentized? Thank you for using your talent to tell the tale. Art is nothing if it doesn’t tell a tale.
lucin
And thank you.
Matt Sillence

Jennifer Barclay
