DEAR AMERICAN SOLDIERS WHOM YOUR WARMONGERS
FORCED TO COME TO THIS BATTLE-FIELD!
FOR WHOM WILL YOU DIE?
Whistler on Sunday was probably one of the craziest ski days I've had in awhile. Easily over a meter of snow in two days was reason enough to wake up at 5:00AM and hit the road eager with anticipation. The fact that there were blue skies the entire day was just the cherry on top of an amazing with my brother and our friend Jake (in the photo).

I did assist at my first Pow Wow today with my family. It was a really good expérience.. lots of colors, amazing faces and costumes, lots of pride, a beautiful sun, was fun ;-)
I did use 3 lenses.. 24-70, 50mm, and my 300mm.
Most of the shots i did use my flash on camera mount with a DIY(Homemade diffuser).

North Vietnam did not treat Americans as prisoners of war. Instead, they justified brutalizing POWs by claiming they were simply outlaws in an "undeclared war." Sixty-five POWs died in captivity, either by execution, torture, injury or disease.
Torture was Common
North Vietnamese brutally and systematically tortured American prisoners to force them to confess to war crimes and participate in staged propaganda activities, or to try to get military information. Prisoners did their best to avoid cooperating, but torture can push people beyond the limits of human endurance. Some POWs learned that any answer, even a false or misleading one, could end their unbelievable pain temporarily. Many felt guilt about giving any answers at all, but submitted as little as possible while preserving their lives. North Vietnamese torture was exceptionally cruel--prison guards bound POWs' arms and legs with tight ropes and then dislocated them, and left men in iron foot stocks for days or weeks. Extreme beatings were common, many times resulting in POW deaths.
Indoctrination and Poor Health
Communist indoctrination was constant, and included endless Radio Hanoi broadcasts and lectures during torture sessions. The content was always the same, and always disregarded by prisoners. Lack of medical treatment threatened all POWs, and filthy conditions added to their misery by attracting rats and insects, and promoting disease. Nutrition was inadequate and limited to thin pumpkin or cabbage soup, some bread and rice, and rotten or hairy meat. The POWs got cold food in the winter and hot food in the summer. During hot summers and damp, chilly winters, POWs had inadequate ventilation, no sunshine in their cells and little warm clothing. The result was constant skin disease and sores.

The university sits atop Puvungna, sacred land that serves as the location of the creation myth of multiple Southern California tribes.

Couldn't decide which one I liked better. I was inspired by a bunch of old photos I found in my dad's closet.
Also, I'm getting old.
18 on the 15th.
A legal adult. I never thought I'd make it this far.
I'm moving to another country someday to own cool eco friendly mod furniture.
Iceland?
England?
Neverland?
Definitely something that ends in land.

This is what I've been processing lately. Sea is the subject of choice in many occasions. As a main theme, a background colour, a far colour essence etc. This is all with the K-70 and my FD lenses, a 50/1.8 and the 70-210/f4. I must say I'm very pleased with the results.
Today, Friday, September 21, is National POW/MIA Recognition Day.
"It is important we take a pause and think of those American heroes who have been prisoners of war or who are still missing in action. We humbly thank them, and their families, for their sacrifice. We continue to pray and work to account for each and every one," U.S. Senator Richard Burr said.
The Department of Defense reports that there are:
78,000 from World War II
8,100 from the Korean War
1,750 from the Vietnam War
120 from the Cold War
1 from the first Gulf War
4 from Iraq
The POW/MIA flag was originally designed by an ad agency after Mary Hoff recognized the need for a symbol of those who were missing. Her husband, Lt. Commander Michael George Hoff, was listed as missing in action in 1970 when his plane failed to return to the deck of USS Coral Sea.
The flag itself was designed by Newt Heisley, a World War II veteran. According to the Annin and Company website, the nation's oldest flag company and the firm that paid for the flag's design, the job came just as Heisley's son Jeff was returning from Marine training at Quantico, Virginia. His gaunt appearance became the inspiration for the silhouette.
