we did a story on the miss india portion of india fest, a beauty contest. here's a pic from backstage
and an out take that i liked.

paddle out

Scores of people did a "paddle out" to commemorate one of the soldiers
killed in the recent Afghanistan helicopter crash. He was a surfer, and
in an effort to try not to identify people in the picture too well,
I overexposed the image (many there didn't want to be identified
due to their role with the military).

Technical note - this was done by a few stops overexposure and then
I brought down a little bit of the shadows to pull in remaining details.

A Chance In Hell

Earlier this year we spent time at the Kandahar
trauma hospital. We finally published the story
today. This image is of a solder who stepped on
a land mine, lost his leg sadly, and received the
purple heart after he was stabilized.

Please take time to look over the stories, photos
and videos. Our service members are still
witnessing this type of trauma daily.

My gratitude is extensive to the military
and to those who allowed us to share their story.

It's the most intense two weeks I have ever witnessed.
