I haven’t been called to the “sand box” yet, but I have plenty of Army buddies that have. Keep your heads down, guys! Come home safely.
Dont look into this too much, you could say its having a go at our commercially driven world in which we pray on peoples temptations to sell a product, in this case its using sexual temptations to lure the youth of today to sign up to the military. Thats how you could look at it, mostly though i just think its a cool image…
A U.S. soldier shows off a scar from the surgery required to remove multiple pieces of ammunition shrapnel sustained when his squad came under direct enemy fire while on patrol in Mosul, Iraq. As of October 2007 over 27,000 U.S. military personnel have been wounded in Iraq since the beginning of the war in March of 2003. Mosul, Iraq Circa 2005

Arlington West is an ongoing display of the casualties in Iraq on East Beach in Santa Barbara, to protest against the war in Iraq, and increase the public awareness regarding the military and political fallout of staying there. Each Sunday morning thousands of crosses, as the number of the fallen, for that day, are placed in the sand and volunteers are providing the public with up to the moment information on casualties plus individual stories on the fallen. This image was taken at memorial day 2007 as a tribute and memorial and as a cry for peace… The combination of the loss and hope for peace left a profound impact on me. / Eyal Nahmias First place: Personal meaning challenge @ Photography Challenge Group Featured: Photography Challenge Group, October 2009 / Featured: Male Photography Group, September 2009 / Featured: Street Photography and Photojournalism Group, January 2009 Nikon D70

Think Tank (Use your head!) / - With all the great minds in this world, why is that we can’t put our heads together and just put an end to war. Perhaps it is our own minds that are the weapons of war?! - /

Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944) was one of the most famous German field marshals of World War II. He was the commander of the Deutsches Afrika Korps and also became known by the nickname “The Desert Fox” for the skillful military campaigns he waged on behalf of the German Army in North Africa. / / Rommel’s military successes earned the respect not only of his troops and Adolf Hitler, but also that of his enemy Commonwealth troops in the North African Campaign. An enduring legacy of Rommel’s character is that he is also considered to be a chivalrous and humane military officer in contrast with many other figures of Nazi Germany. more / / Black and white conte pencil on brown paper.

This is the most recent instalment of my Nostalgia series As usual, it was created with my “painted with light” technique that mainly exists out of long exposures and a lot of “painting” with a flash light. / Tutorials on my technique can be found here and here This image was shot during several exposures of 30s on f22 and ISO100 which were later combined using Photoshop. more work / the calendar / the print /
*MISTAKE CHANGED. Appologies to the first couple of buyers for the spelling mistake. The info was from the Army website, I did question it, but found the same facts with the same mistake on several websites, so believed it to be correct. However, this has now been corrected. Challenger 2 facts. / The tank alone took me the best part of 4 hours to complete…what being ‘snowed in’ in the UK will do to you :D

The other casualties of war—those left behind, are seldom considered after the folded flag is given in memory of their loved one’s sacrifice. This piece pays homage to those left behind, and explores “Feeling the Void”. It features the riderless horse, which, although reserved for colonels, or above, in the Army or Marine Corps, here, symbolizes the soul of the lost soldier. The horse here is a Friesian horse, on which a star blaze has been added as a tribute to “Black Jack”, a long serving riderless horse. The young woman represents a daughter, nearly grown, for all intents and purposes, but always and forever “Daddy’s girl”. Take a moment with me and remember the wives, husbands, children, brothers, and sisters of the lost soldiers who paid their respective country with their life and, also, the lives of those they left behind.
