SEMPER FI

I'd like to think I draw images from reality, or that they come from something that has a loosely realistic base. Most of the time the images go off in their own imaginary little directions and I never give it much thought. Nor do I think too much about who runs across these images and how it might influence them. I recently received an email from a Sgt with the 2D Marine Special Operations Battalion out of North Carolina. Turns out these guys wear gas masks and do the kinds of things that push the limits every day. Seems they like my version of the gas mask citizen. The Marines are getting ready to deploy over in Afghanistan this fall... They are getting ready to go off and do the things I only read about on my happy little CNN homepage every morning.
I don't often get a chance to do something for these people who are out there risking their ass every day... So in my own small way... I can make a few images they can take withe them. Hopefully they will stay in contact and I can post pics while they are over there. SEMPER FI
