I have a image on the cover of TIME magazine this week (July 28, 2008 issue)! The Soldier is Sergeant Major Combs,¬†photographed¬†at¬†the¬†Korengal Outpost last fall. Naturally, this is major news for me professionally, but it also means a great deal personally. I received an email from Combs’ mother telling me that she took his three children to the newsstand to buy as many copies as they could. They were so excited they were running up and down the store’s aisles saying ‘this is my daddy! this is my daddy!’.

Congratulations. Well done, well deserved.
Great image, too. As far as I can tell, your photographs from your time in Afghanistan are the only ones out there giving the American public ANY idea of what our soldiers and Marines are going through.

Hey! this is an awesome picture I saw on Time magazine! The only thing is, I couldn’t find the name of the soldier you photographed anywhere. Can you tell me who they are?
Thank you and congratulations!

Congratulations on the cover.
The only sad thing is that once again the media is leading us into another militaristic adventure. How can anyone write, “The Right War”?
