Photographers Narrative

 

On a brisk early winter morning in an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia members of the 746th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron prepared to go on a transport mission in support of Operation New Dawn.  Photography is about capturing moments.  I have learned to notice a look on an Airman’s face.  If photographed in the right way their expressions make viewers ask who is she, what does she do, and what is she thinking?  Loadmaster Technical Sergeant Tiffany Seager helps start engines on a C-130, and help to transport the Cincinnati Bengals cheerleaders’ to perform for the troops.
