Some Gave All…

It’s hard to describe the surreal scene that surrounds a fallen 21-year-old soldier. Greg Rundell was a former student of mine that was killed in Iraq about a week ago. It was difficult for me on many fronts, but primarily because I knew the family well – I had seen Greg’s brother Kyle just about two months before and he beamed with pride “My brother’s over there now too.” (Kyle has just come back from Iraq) I couldn’t believe the power of images on my camera LCD as I was shooting at his visitation Thursday. It caused me to reflect on the power of photography and capturing the pinnacle moments in life, and death. The fender of the “patriot guard” motorcycle pictured above said “All Gave Some / Some Gave All.” Thanks for your service, Greg.
