It’s great to back home in beautiful San Diego! I’ve been out of town traveling and shooting the US Army for 22 out of the last 29 days. While I love having the opportunity to shoot our young cadets, it feels great to sleep in my own bed once again.
This is yet another “bunch of random Army images” posts. I wish I could have posted my favorite images each and every night after returning to my hotel, but most nights I was just too tired to plug through all of my images. I also wish I could post ALL of the images I love from the previous 11 days, but I just don’t have time to do that either!
So, here are just a select few images, in no particular order, from the last couple of days of shooting up at Ft. Lewis, Washington:
The “Recondo” water confidence course included this obstacle that required the cadets to climb and crawl up to a rope, hang down, and then drop down 20 feet into the lake:
Every cadet had their own way of falling:
Having a good time after getting out of the water:
A few more random images:
It was pretty awesome to be right under a Chinook helicopter as it lands and takes off. You can’t really tell by the first picture, (due to my wide-angle lens), but I’m no more than 20 yards from the edge of the helicopter. The blades were kicking up some serious dirt!
From the other side, as the cadets enter the back of the Chinook:
And here’s one last fun portrait of my boys Shredder and Ch4d posing at the graduation field:
Don’t worry… Ch4d will get his own post in the next couple of days. I’ always seem to take a bunch of goofy pictures of him and I on these trips.
Stay tuned!
