Last Saturday I had my first gallery opening of the Afghanistan work. The show was written up in the local paper, The Poughkeepsie Journal.
And another local Magazine called The Chronogram did a piece on it as well.
The parents of LT Miller, a soldier I met at the KOP, drove 2 hours just to come to the show. Here is a picture of them and a picture of LT Miller.
also – there is a review of kingston show here :

A few weeks ago I spent the afternoon with Clarissa Alcock Bronfman and her amazing Latin art collection.
It was a shoot for Conde Nast Portfolio.com.
I wanted to let everyone know that I’ve got two separate gallery opening coming up for my Afghanistan work.
It’s so exciting for me to be able to share these photos with more people. One of the shows, at
The Center for Photography at Woodstock , is especially notable because it’s curated by Alison Nordstrom
from the George Eastman House. I am one of nine photographers selected for their annual Photography Now show.
The other show is at Kingston Museum of Contemporary Arts
It’d be great to see you at one of the openings‚Ķ.or both! Details below.

On behalf of my son who is fighting in Afghanistan, thank you for bringing attention to the war there ["The Taliban Hunters," by Joshua Hammer, March]. My son has done tours in South Korea and Iraq. When I tell people he is currently in Afghanistan they believe he is safe and say, “thank God he isn’t in Iraq.” But I have spent many days writing condolences to families who have lost loved ones this year in Afghanistan. A bullet or IED there is just as deadly as a bullet anywhere. We are fighting two wars, but the media and Congress seem to recognize only one. -Anne Conrad, Scottsville, AZ

On Thursday morning, 2nd Platoon A CO came under small arms fire and RPG fire. The platoon immediately requested and received both mortar and artillery support to suppress the enemy attack. Unfortunately, during the course of the engagement,SPC Christopher Wilson was Killed in action. SSG Lomen, SPC McHargue and PFC May were all seriously injured.
After hearing the news, SPC Christopher Wilsons mother sent out a one line email that said simply:
‚ÄúI lost my beautiful son today.”
When will the media start to realize that Americans want to know what is going on in Afghanistan?
I had the opportunity to photograph Madeline Edwards this week on the set of The Morning Show at CBS. Madeline was the winner of “Living Room … Live! Kids”
