American Soldier





 
This is the most powerful photo from the slideshow because it has very raw emotions. I understand this must be a very difficult time for them and its nice to see the contrast in their personalities.
 

Home in Denver: #1-7
At Basic Training: #8-30
At Fort Carson: #31-50
In Iraq: #51-70
Back in Denver: #71-82
 
I think the pictures taken at basic training were most powerful because they showed how Ian transformed and changed and they captured a lot of emotion.
 
 The photos work together by following his entire journey in the military, showing his struggles and triumphs along the way, telling a story.

The verbs are in present tense.


The captions help tell the story that is shown in the photos.
