Memorial Day In Brooklyn

Memorial Day In Brooklyn

I’ll attempt to keep my commentary to a minimum, since I don’t think I can add much to the images I’ll be posting today. The image above is of the Field of Flags, a memorial to the 266 New Yorkers who been killed in action during operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and associated theaters of...

Honoring the Fallen

Honoring the Fallen

Later today I’ll be photographing one of the longest-running Memorial Day parades in the nation. Sponsored by the United War Veterans of Kings County, the Brooklyn Memorial Day Parade is a fitting tribute to those who’ve made the greatest sacrifice in order to ensure the preservation of our precious liberties.

Operation CYA (Gunwalker In The News)

Operation CYA (Gunwalker In The News)

Although I’ve been neglectful in highlighting  recent important developments in the Gunwalker scandal, I’d like to make up for this oversight with today’s update. First of all, I have to congratulate CBS News for being one of the first, and by far the most persistent, of mainstream media outlets to report on the unfolding debacle known...
