Somehow the right combination of solemn and uplifting. Good capture.

Serious topic, but the photo looks great. He looks somehow light and weightless to me; it's hard to describe. When I first looked at the picture I thought he was jumping or something like that.

Thanks. Haha, we wish! After carrying backpacks of gear with us, we definitely feel light with just the body armor. xD

tanikel In reply to chaz-420 [2012-02-12 11:10:25 +0000 UTC]

About 30 pounds. That's not counting ammo and all of the other things we stow in the pouches.
