Thank you Ryan. It is good to get positive feedback from members of the armed forces.

I really like your painting. Its rather breath-taking, and I'm not being sarcastic. I've been in the USAF for over 4 years now, and seen a lot of work depicting our line of work, but yours personifies exactly what many think. It really is amazing.

altar of hubris

	A composite of 123 American foot soldiers in Iraq. An offering upon the altar of hubris.

	This image was created by compositing (combining, layering) groups of exisiting photographs (or other images) into a single work. The process is achieved by manually aligning each image, then scanning and layering them using custom written software. The intent of these works is to discover the patterns, trends and truth that may be collectively found in the vocabulary of the photographic arts.

	30 x 20 in. digital print
