week of color: black.grey

Here is a shot from my trip to the Middle East four weeks ago.  While on the aircraft carrier the USS Ronald Reagan I took a series of silohuette shots from the hangar bay looking out onto the Persian Gulf.

This is one of my favorites: A portrait of the admiral we were traveling with.  He is a quiet, thoughtful man.  The kind of person who takes a moment to think before answering. 

There was something striking about an important military leader staring out to sea while on an active carrier carrying out war missions on the flight deck above.  I often wonder what he was thinking about.

BONUS SHOT:
To give perspective on where I was on board.  Here is an F16 fighter jet on the same spot that I took the portrait above.

Just a little info, and not to pry, but the photo of the jet on the elevator of the carrier deck is a F-18 hornet, not a F-16 falcon. F-16's dont land on the deck of an aircraft carrier
