Army Reserve competes in 2010 Army Best Warrior Competition
I photographed two Army Reserve Soldiers competing in the 2010 Department of the Army Best Warrior Competition at Fort Lee, Va.

Camera Tossing? You bet!
OK, I know what you’re thinking!
‘Does he really TOSS his camera into the air?’
Yes I do, albeit not on a regular basis. But I have, on occasion, let my Nikon D70 slip the surly bonds of gravity for a brief instant while taking a slow shutter speed photograph.
In Silent Watch
There is probably no more hallowed ground than Arlington National Cemetery. The grounds evoke a sense of peace in stark contrast to the ultimate sacrifice of the many who lie there in silent watch.
