Camera Candid


No pork but plenty of ham. Getting the camera out always brings a change in people. Some about-face and hide in the same breath, while others reveal their inner entertainer and open their curtains without hesitation. The shot below is actually me with my morning coffee, a joe with joe I guess, before mission.


The above shot was taken in the hallway at the IP station. With the camera the Iraqi adults are the same as the kids. An instant group pose is formed and afterward just as quickly satisfaction with seeing the LCD of what you just took and it's on to business with no questions.

Some of the soldiers in our squad on our daily mission to visit a Diwaniya IP station got in on the act in this photo of a photo. A more American pose in this case, but no less candid. The other photographer is actually an interpreter who typically are not too keen on having their faces photographed.
