A Battlefield Tourist

My War

Since the attacks on America in 2001, I have spent more than 260 days, in either Iraq or Afghanistan, covering US troops and their allies in their counter-insurgency struggles. 

As most of those familiar with my work know, I am primarily a videojournalist, but also enjoy taking a couple of still shots every once in a while as well.  Recently, I have assembled my favorite pictures from these experiences in the expectation of putting together an exhibit.  With that said, I would love to get some public involvement in this project and it doesn’t cost a dime.

Take a few minutes, look at these images and then let me know what your top-five pictures are.  All you have to do is leave the list in the feedback for this post.  While it seems trivial to you, I need to cut the number of images down and would love your help in doing just that.  So on this Memorial Day, take a few minutes and help me out.

My War

If any of these images strike a chord with you, please let me know.  I will be offering these images to interested people in VERY limited quantities, in many cases, just one print will be released.  You can contact me at my new email address:  newsmanpm@yahoo.com

All funds raised through this effort are going to help me replace gear that has been destroyed over the past few years.

    I would so love to fly a paraglider over there but I suspect one may become a flying target. That and wondering if you will land on some ordinance or a land mine.
