During a relatively peaceful 2002 protest against the World Bank in Washington, D.C., anti-war demonstrators began to change the situational climate of the march. Tensions between protesters and police, who were expecting a violent demonstration, began to rise. Police began to arrest everyone that they managed to surround inside Pershing Park, guilty, as well as innocent bystanders alike. In relative anticipation of the police’s reaction, this young man wrote the telephone numbers of civil defense lawyers on his arms before the demonstrations even began. Pershing Park, Washington D.C. September 2002 on Nikon N90s Here are the rest of the images from this series: /

Tensions between protesters and police, who were expecting a violent demonstration, started to rise. Police began to arrest everyone that they managed to surround inside Pershing Park, guilty, as well as innocent bystanders alike.

Mosul, Iraq Circa 2006

The aurora borealis, or what is commonly referred to as the northern lights, dances over the peak of Twelvemile Summit in interior Alaska.

A little girl from Mt. Elgon, Uganda tells me with a smile in her native Lugandan language, not to take her picture.

Uganda, East Africa July 1998

Back lit from the full moon hiding just behind a tree, mid-lighting by the campfire and the tent is lit with a small LED camping headlamp. This actually on a self-timer and that is myself on the far right. 20 sec. exposure at f11 Whitehorse, YT, Canada October 2007

Two soldiers from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team stand guard in the rear hatches of their stryker vehicle while on patrol north of Mosul, Iraq. Many unfamiliar with the geography of Iraq believe it is entirely arid, but as this picture shows, northern Iraq is quite hilly and in the spring, the fields are a vibrant green because of all the precipitation coming off the northern range. Duhuk, Iraq Circa 2006

The driver of a Stryker armored vehicle, from the 172nd SBCT, Ft. Wainwright, Alaska, takes a moment to rest in the shade of a eucalyptus tree, out of his extremely warm driver’s hatch.

An abandoned homestead cabin stands in dereliction adjacent a field as a cold fog rolls into the central mountains of Colorado.

The purchaser only had to show improvement to their property by growing food, raising livestock and fencing a section of it within five years of receiving the deed. Blackhawk, Colorado September 2008

“And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security – we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.” Photoshop combo of two images. Obama image used from www.politicogod.com/.../barack_obama_finger.jpg and personal image. Golden, Colorado. Circa 2008 /

On a day that’s hard to appreciate, or even swallow down, the definition of a Veteran seems unavoidably linked with an older generation. I don’t feel like a Vet. My grandfather is a Veteran, myself on the other hand, I feel as though I fall into an undefinable category. Generation X who has become “Generation Kill,” and subsequently slips right back into society, undetectable. The pain, fear and horror of what we’ve gone through is repressed, so that we can move fluidly back into this madness we call America, and continue our lives. The transition is impossible and just like generations before us, we will never fit it. Self portrait. 1/30 sec. @ f2.8 with Nikon N90s on self-timed. Mosul, Iraq Circa 2006
