Description
When you're far away from the one you love
Stop and gaze at the heavens above,
Whether the time be the sun-scorched noon
Or a frosty night with a glittering moon,
And there up above in that realm of space
I see not the sun or the moon, but a face
A beautiful face with a tender smile
Which tells me she’s waiting to make life worthwhile.
Perhaps tonight from her windowpane
She’s gazing aloft, on her lips my name.
As she prays to God, way up above
To watch o’er, keep safe, and return that love.
So when you’re feeling alone and forlorn
Watch into the night and the wakening morn,
And remember that westward across the blue
She’s watching and waiting, the same as you.

This series is very touching. War is such a crazy thing. We go, we fight, and then 30 years later we are friends with our former enemies and it's hard to figure out what the point was. Nice.

Thank you so much for your lovely compliments. This is exactly what I've been striving to portray with these. The gentleman that I partner with to do these is such an incredible subject...he brings such emotion and feeling into each shot. It's like he steps back in time and becomes who he's attempting to portray. This whole series has been an absolute pleasure to work on, and there's more to come!

You're welcome.
I took part yesterday in the Remembrance Day service and I was thinking of soldier buddies who I had lost, so it touched me a great deal.

Thanks! It is, actually. It's a pic of re-enactor APCR on top of a hill. One of my favorite pics!
