A Story from Iraq

Check out the story here
http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0409/dis_borkgren.html

I'm putting up this picture for 2 reasons. 1. I'm considering going back to the M.E. for awhile and two I have received a bunch of emails asking me about this picture that I took while in Iraq. I was on patrol with the 1st Cav unit when they pulled over to help some brothers dismantle an IED. It was actually a trap and at this moment the humvee was hit by a mortar. I was trying to not shake while I shot but as you see I was shaking. I had left my flac jacket and helmet inside because I thought it was safe. Never assume such silly things when on assignment. The gunner got hit but survived. I shot this picture as rocks and shrapnel was falling all around me. Then I too threw myself on the ground to protect my eyes and head. If you look closely you can see one of the guys leaning next to the humvee trying to avoid the shrapnel flying everywhere.

Men in Congo take a Pool Break

Someone asked me the other day if I am shooting weddings. Of course I am. I love photographing weddings. I like the pull and push of telling hard stories and telling the story of people in love on the most important day of their life.

India Wedding

OK can you see the beads of sweat on my face? It was extreme heat during the wedding. This is during the reception. The wedding ceremony lasted 2 days and 2 nights. Even the photographer gets painted during the wedding. Orange means holy and luck (I think). I didn't even know this and I wore an orange top to the wedding.

Fun for wedding geared to entertain your guests keeps getting better!

If you are on a destination wedding the activities are limitless. You can get guests
together before the wedding ceremony for a dive in the ocean together or a hot air balloon ride above the city. This is especially easy to do if your wedding isn't until the evening.
