Photographer's Narrative

It's not easy to stand in front of someone with a camera during a vulnerable moment.  During this shoot I was worried because I didn't want to cross the line between being intrusive and ensuring that I was capturing history.  I'm very concerned about peoples feeling because I want my work to bridge gaps and connect people.  I feel that those suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Terminal Brain Injury (TBI) due to war deserve our understanding and support.  This is another photo in the series from when I was covering the Lt. Dan Band concert.  I spent the entire week with wounded warriors, supporters, and their families.  I established a rapport with them that I will always value.
