Photographers Narrative

After a devastating earthquake struck the country of Haiti in 2010 members of the Department of Defense undertook a massive relief effort bringing much needed supplies and equipment to help the displaced citizens.  In photography, lighting is a good way to establish mood.  In this photo I tried to use the lighting to emphasize how hard and how late into the night American Airman worked in support of Haiti.  After participating in a late night mission Sergeant Samples takes advantage of the dim lighting aboard the aircraft and gets some much needed sleep.
