Photo from Iraq
I got an e-mail from Staff Sgt. Russell Lee Klika this morning. I hope to have some of his photos online soon. In the meantime, here’s one he sent with his e-mail.
Ad-Dwar Iraq, early morning raid
Still hoping Staff Sgt. Klika will stop by to say a few words, we’ll see how that goes. It still looks very likely we’ll get more of his photos. I’m very curious about what kind of equipment he’s using. The sharpness of focus he’s getting in his portraits is very impressive. A very impressive photographer. I think we’ll be seeing a lot more of him.
More of Staff Sgt. Klika’s photos are available at Blackfive.
Update: Since this was posted, SSG Klika has posted other photos here. Here’s a link to the most resent which in turn links to others.
Update:

I served with SSG Klika in Iraq from 2004-2005 in Iraq. He is now on his second tour. His pictures are amazing I think his Camera was a Canon although I really do not know much about photography. He takes a pile of pictures to get the results you see and spends a lot of time out in dangerous areas getting to meet locals and working to get such fine pictures.
