Back in the states!

Nov 22 2009


I had an incredible time… it was definitely worth every penny and every drop of sweat haha :) Now, I’m working on organizing my photos and catching up on everything… so much work to do already lol. Hopefully I can blog and upload photos within the next couple of days so I can start doing some of the tons of work that’s waiting for me :T Life never takes a break haha… but this trip made me really appreciate all that I have and I’m thankful I was able to be a part of such a big event in our homeowners’ lives. I’m going to try and do either a JRCWP or a Global Village trip every year. I think everyone should do at least one in their life… it’s a really incredible and worthwhile experience and totally doable if you plan for it! :) I hope for my next trip I can convince some of my friends to come out with me :P

Ian Fisher : American Soldier

Nov 9 2009

From the Denver Post blog:

This is how an American soldier is made.

For 27 months, Ian Fisher, his parents and friends, and the U.S. Army allowed Denver Post reporters and a photographer to watch and chronicle his recruitment, induction, training, deployment, and, finally, his return from combat. A selection of photos from Ian’s journey are posted below.

The story was written by Kevin Simpson with Michael Riley, Bruce Finley and Craig F. Walker. It was reported by Riley in Colorado and at Fort Benning, Ga., Finley at Fort Carson and in Iraq, and photographer Craig F. Walker throughout.

This is such an awesome photo series of a real life soldier… The photographs are well shot and documented. Make sure you read the captions!

The full photo series can be found here.
