This photo inspired me to look more at the body of your work posted. It is all excellent, thought provoking and moving, but the word favorite seems innapropriate. Thanks for making me think a bit more today.

You take amazing photos, and this shot proves it! the soldier's eyes are haunting and the snow brings out the adversity that soldiers must endure on the front. Awesome photo!

Congrats on the Nat Geo publication...
... his eyes, his body language, the cold snow, the texture on the wall, the deepness of shadows....... it all comes together towards the evidence not only of a situation but of a state of mind.... awesome image. -

Great body of work here. I especially like the B/W images, tight cropping, and most of all - the narrative. I think Robert Capa (Magnum) would be proud of these, and you sure were "close enough". Bravo.
