It's been a while for a SOOC (straight out of camera) image to make an appearance for the POD, so here you are a treat for your eyes! Also the 35mm f2 AI-S is as lens I don't use as much as I used to. Ever since it began having issues a few months back with the aperture closing down to f2, I resorted to using my 50mm for more shots. Cheers to more photos with the 35mm!

At the Oklahoma City Memorial, there are two large granite walls on either end of the reflection pond, known as The Gates of Time. Each has a time that light shines through at night. One says 9:01, representing the innocense of the city before the attack; the other 9:03, representing the moment that the city was changed forever, and the hope that came from the horror in the moments and days following the bombing on April 19, 1995 at 9:02 AM.

During the Fort Logan National Cemetery's Memorial Day ceremony, I came across this young marine. He was slowly going down the rows of graves, and quietly stopping to read each stone and pay his respects to his fellow servicemen and women who had gone before. The humilty and grace with which he took in each name was heartfelt, and really made me as the onlooker ponder the service & sacrifice that so many have made.
