Photo Exhibit in San Antonio, Texas

If you happen to live 'round San Antonio you might want to check out the photo exhibit at the downtown campus of The University of Texas at San Antonio. The images were selected from more than 300 photographs featured in the book, A Day in the Life of the United States Armed Forces.

The photographs in the exhibit were captured over a single 24-hour period -- October 22, 2002 -- by 125 leading civilian and military photographers, who fanned out across the globe to capture an ordinary day in the lives of the men and women who protect America's freedom. The result is an extraordinary pictorial documentary that records the daily sacrifices, integrity and commitment of members of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.

The exhibit also includes images by award-winning photographers from the San Antonio area, including Dirck Halstead of Time magazine, Don Winslow of the National Press Photographers Association, and military photographers Staff Sgt. Jeff Allen, Master Sgt. Lance Cheung and Tech. Sgt. Efrain Gonzales.

Open to the public and free of charge, the exhibit is at the UTSA Downtown Campus Durango Building gallery (10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday - Friday) through August 18. Source: USTA Today

I'm excited and thrilled for my dear friend Donald that his photographs were among those selected from the book for this travelling exhibit. Congrats!!
