Truly great photography! just to tag on here, we lost my buddy Andrew in Afghanistan on August 22nd. I don't know who the photographer was, but here's a shot of him from last year. Evan, he was a Staff Sgt. with Company C, 2nd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) . Amazing guy I am shooting his sister's wedding sometime next year and donating all monies to Ft. Bragg. I can't thank Andy and all the other men and women who have served and are serving all over the world enough.
we talk about having to shoot in all sorts of challenging situations, but we've got it easy, folks. take a few minutes to look at the work of an old friend from high school: US Army Staff Sgt Adam Mancini
what an amazing service our military photographers provide.

I'm sorry for your loss Jeff.... I read some of your quotes in the newspaper about Andrew. He sounds like a great guy, and I'm sure he was an excellent Doc. I can't speak for anyone else, but to those of us who honor The Regiment he'll never be just a number.
A few months ago a photographer buddy of mine calls looking to borrow a piece of equipment and we got to chatting and he mentions he had to give up shooting weddings.
"I just couldn't take the stress anymore" he said. "Just too much stress".
That same evening I was channel surfing and saw one of the beach landings during a WWII invasion, I think something like a quarter of the soldiers involved that day died during the battle.
That's stress.
And has a way of putting a lot of other "stress" activities in their place.
Where was there any attempt at humor? It was a genuine question.
Brand Image is a hard thing to change, I assume people get promoted fairly often, his site and pictures are associated with his tentative rank. Was merely asking if he changes it when he gets promoted. How is this funny?

again. please look at the URL. there is no reference to his rank. on the site it's as simple as changing a header if/when he gets promoted.
what brand image? the site belongs to the military.
you take it from wrong end guys, it is like saying that war cookers are brave because they go to cook in a war.
take it from point of a soldier who want to go to a war and can enjoy his hobby of photography rather than lugging around medpacks and ammo boxes.
photos are beyond amazing. he obviously cares for details even in tough situation.
