This photo was taken the afternoon of Veterans Day last month.
Marywood University students had 6,600 flags planted on campus-- one for every American service man and woman killed in fighting since 9/11/01. It was powerful.
Let's talk a little about photographic technique. It was a total accident. The auto focus zeroed in in the closest flag, leaving the rest of the flags, the trees, and the library building nicely out of focus. I like this shot a lot.
Tomorrow... my favorite photograph of 2012.
