National Airborne Day
Saturday, August 13 was celebrated as National Airborne Day. National Airborne Day was held at the Airborne & Special Operations Museum, Fayetteville, N.C. I photographed the event for my freelance agency ZUMA Press.
This year’s annual event commemorates the 71st anniversary of the Army Parachute Test Platoon’s first official jump and the tenth anniversary of the museum.
In 2002, President George W. Bush signed a proclamation slating August 16th as National Airborne Day in honor of “the first official Army parachute jump on August 16, 1940.”
Improving conference photography
This tip sheet was primarily written for military photojournalists but it applies to anyone who has or will have to photograph a conference of some kind. Those of us in the military photojournalism field do our fair share of covering events like these so I thought I would share with you how I approach assignments like this.

Coming Soon … Infinity Fotos Tips
Based on a monthly photojournalism column I just started writing to help Army Reserve Soldiers who are photojournalists, I will also start providing the same type of articles, if not reprints of the same articles, to you…depending on the subject matter.
While some of the subjects of military photojournalism may not apply to you personally, the tips and techniques I will be sharing with you can be applied to most forms of photography.
So check back soon for more!
