Such an amazing piece full of emotion! Brought tears to my eyes. (Really, it did. I'm sitting here right now with tears in my eyes) Thanks for posting this.

I love this shot. The black at the top and bottom adds a nice movie quality, and the blur gives it that dream feel. Would you happen to know if that's a C-17 in the background?

Thank you. Those are C-130's in the background, the C-17's are larger and use jet engines.

I've felt that a few times... You know that song Pinch Me, by the Barenaked Ladies? That perfectly captures how I feel at some points of the day.

Amazing photo and concept.. I really like how the image looks the slightest bit hazy, which adds to the dreamlike quality. This even makes me tear up a bit.

I just had to favorite this. Not only is this a wonderful shot, but I can relate I guess. My brother will be stationed in Iraq by next year. Here's to hoping he'll be one of these lucky men.

interesting. it does have an oddly dreamlike quality in terms of visual effects, probably with the edges of objects. in terms of content, very powerful.

Come on home boys...that C-130 always looks best when you're getting on it again, only heading in the opposite direction, HOME. This is a wonderful shot, fills me with familiar emotion.

I'm guessing by the photo that you're a soldier yourself? If so, thanks for everything you've done for the US and for the Iraqis, I can't even imagine how difficult it must be. I have several very good friends stationed there, including one that's coming home in just a couple more days.
Terrific shot, really does look like something taken right out of a movie. Beautiful tones and interesting composition. The added social environment going on right now just makes it all the more powerful.
