A firefighter assesses the situation as sunlight peers through the tree tops. Some of my other ‘fire’ work. / / /
This is done as a salute to all firefighters. I took this with my 35mm Canon EOS Rebel XS, this was off the very first roll of film i ever put in the camera. These particular firefighters are part of the Fairfax County, VA fire department. :)

another shot of the fire my volunteer fire dept was putting out wednesday night..this is a old landmark that used to be a restaurant, then a river tubing company, the river tube company has been closed for two years now. this was the 4th time this building has been caught on fire, this time..its a goner, happy to say no firefighters were harmed / you could feel the heat off this thing from 25-30 foot away! but then after all died down, we all like to have frozen our “hoses” off!! temps got down below 30 degrees (F), and we were all soaked! / it was a real challenge, shooting this , because the ony light was from the fire, and the trucks, and i hand held camera for all of the shots / im happy to say out of 112 shot, i only deleted close to 10, if that here is the link to the local tv station that has put my shots on there http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=53827
Another from my fire series. This time a fire fighter begins work as sunlight streams through the smoke above. Some of my other ‘fire’ work. / / /
to date, since i have been on the volunteer fire dept here in townsend, this was the hardest fire we have fought. this was richmont inn, located in laurel valley here in townsend, along a mountain side. this blaze literally wore us out. we fought it from 9:30pm til 6:10am, and then i had to return around 8:30am and fight it more til around 11am. i had already been up for over 24hrs. i was beat. there was one more call on this fire the next day, and again, a few of us showed up to “finish her off” / this was a task within itself, the inn was about 100foot from where we had to park our truck, and carry ALL of our gear down the mountain side to it. of course we started off at night, so having to watch your step along with carrying gear or a charged hose, was a challenge. / this shot along with 7 others will soon be published in 9-1-1 magazine, four from this fire..and three shots from the fire we had exactly one month to the day in january. two of the shots are already here on RB….”my volunteer job” and “battling the blaze”
last night (or tonite? havent been to bed yet) wednesday night! / our volunteer fire dept got a call about a old restaurant here in townsend (old landmark) had smoke coming out of it, the restaurant had been closed for years, and even tho a tubing company had taken it over (which has been closed for two years now), the locals still refer to it as the old restaurant / just as we got there, we could see the fire, and of course started doing our thing…putting it out / within 3-5 minutes the house was completely engulfed in flames, my first mission (believe it or not) was to put fire out, and of course thinking the whole time..man i need to get shots of this!! (yes, im addicted to photography), but as we had some backup come in, and it was my time to take a break…straight for the camera i went / and grabbed over a 100shots, going around the building / we were there getting this completely out to where it was safe to leave until 1am. / talk about a total rush, meanwhile feeling a sadness as a townsend landmark is now rubble this shot was published in the Knox News Sentinal on Jan. 25,2008 :) , Knoxville Tn’s largest newspaper.
A good friend who works for the NSW Fire Dept is turning 30 soon and this picture is going on all the invites :) /

One of my most powerful works according to friends and family. Take from it what you will. Medium: Indian ink and Gray wash, Pantone markers and Photoshop CS2.
Dedicated to not only to my fellow firefighters in the New South Wales Fire Brigades, but all firefighters here in Australia.
Firefighters are some of the bravest people there are. It says a lot about a person, when he’s willing to put his own life on the line, to save the live of someone he doesn’t know.

Remembering our fallen in their quest to protect life and property. / Sometimes the battle beats us, sometimes the shadows of past incidents take their toll on our minds when we sleep. / We do our job, but at times it takes a bigger toll than the loss of lives we have to witness. / People often forget about us, the ones that have to witness the horrific loss of life and the white crosses of horror that are left behind. We also are left behind and are reminded of the tragic circumstances that happen at each white cross. / Sure think of the poor families and their losses, but spare a thought for the people that tried to help them in their final moments.
