Brand new out of the box
|
Everyone has a family, whether it is by blood or bond, you have a family. My family is the 4th Combat Camera Squadron, United States Air Force Reserves. In 2004, they took me into the fold and thus began my journey as a photojournalist. I work with some of the most talented, creative and dedicated people on the planet, that coupled with the fact that I travel the world makes for a good day at work.
As I stated
above, I am a Combat Photojournalist, the emphasis being Combat. Combat photojournalists are highly trained
not only in photography, but also in combat maneuvers and weapons tactics. Although our area of responsibility is war,
not every assignment is dangerous. There
are those, however, that carry and innate danger far above all others.
One of my
friends just returned home from an undisclosed location, prior to his
assignment he was issued the brand new, out of the box, Nikon D3 camera, (Nikon’s
latest and greatest at that time), so pristine, shinny, so boring.
After six months he
returned home, all in one piece thankfully, as did his camera. Not to sound cliché but if this camera could tell
stories, but then again it would have to kill you. Battle born and battle tested, it is now a
thing of beauty.
