This
image is powerful to me because I was in the military. I know how it feels to
see your fallen comrades. Having to see their memorial can be the worst
thing. These images are usually called fallen soldier pictures. The memorial
consist of the soldiers boots, his weapon propped up in between them, dog tags
hanging from the weapon, and the fallen soldiers helmet on the buttstock of the
weapon. In this image the man is clearly grieving his lost friend and comrade. This
image so powerful not only because of the content but the way it was captured.
In silhouette you can capture an intimate moment but still have the ambiguity to
put you in this mans situation.
