Photographer's Narrative

 

Documenting an exercise can be hectic and chaotic. This photo shows a different perspective of someone going through a decontamination line. It almost feels like you were there. Before taking my camera out, I looked around my environment to see where the most action was. After watching carefully, I positioned myself in the decontamination line and kept taking photos until I got the shot I wanted.
