Here is my first photo post to this blog site. I had another post, but I decided to go another route with the blog, so I started over. This photo is one of my favorites taken in Iraq. This was taken just using a point and shoot Canon digital camera. It's a friend of mine getting his .50 cal machine gun ready before we went on a mission.
It was just before Christmas, and it was cold and windy in this place. Most of us chose to sleep outside in the twenty degree weather in tents. I have to say that it was one of my favorite times out in Iraq. I felt like I was in my own little world while I was in my tent, the peace of the wind blowing, the slowly warming sleeping bag getting nice and toasty warm as I lay there writing or thinking of my loved ones back home. It would be a short lived peace as our mission ended and we had to head back to our base down South.
Im glad you found something you enjoy doing while you are over there. You really do have a wonderful eye for photography... cant wait to see all your pictures when you get home.
