Your Legacy Deserves Better

"The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future."?

- Wendell Phillips

Hello July,

Here's to ending June on a great note!??

I recently met a young?military?officer progressing through his Basic Officer Training.?His father asked him for a military portrait for a fourth of July project he was working on that included images of all the Veterans in the family. The young man hadn't taken an official portrait yet, so Google led him to me.

After about a week of trying to match our busy schedules to include a three day field exercise, he was able to visit my Old Town Alexandria, VA studio the day before his flight home for the long weekend.

Keep reading in my latest blog post how his session went and the "wisdom" this 'ol salt gave him on the way out the door.

These are both beautiful. The color image highlights the brass buttons and buckle, the bullion chinstrap, and the subtle presence of the flag over his shoulder. The B&W image brings out the shadows on his face in a dramatic way. This image could be a Marine from any of the past eight decades.
