Wow this is impressive. Took a quick look, but I do like your social pictures the most (like the golf).

**Ash** · 12-29-2012, 05:00 AM

What a comprehensive and excellent account of your deployment, both in the journalism and the photography. Blending in your own review of the D7000 is a refreshing bonus I must add. Bravo, Heie.

Very impressive, great shots and a fascinating read too. It takes me back to my own days as an engineer - different arena but same issues with ied's etc.

First time I have seen this thread. Great stories and pics, thanx for sharing..

**LaurenOE** · 12-29-2012, 07:49 AM

Awesome!!! I loved every minute!
As for the Golf shot at the end? Classic!
When you come to Orlando, golf is on me!

Fantastic shots as again! You have some great single and group portraits there!

#23 Looks like something out of Antarctica lol..

Your experiences with the D7000 are similar to mine - the Nikon menu system, while pretty and flashy, is not enjoyable to parse through. The body just didn't feel right to me, and its AF system has some complaints lodged against it by Nikon users as well.

#25 - You need 3 arms, sir
#26 - You must do a lot of work in the dark, as evidenced by the headlamp you are wearing

#27 - This shot needs to be submitted to so many different places. It's just a fantastic shot!

Excellent article Heie. I enjoyed the homework, it was very interesting. I appreciate your efforts in photographing and documenting your work (and play.)
Wishing you continued success and safety.

Just an excellent post. You show us a very different view from what we see on the news. Thank you for going to so much trouble to enlighten us. Stay safe!

**Bob Harris** · 12-29-2012, 04:33 PM

Heie,....G'day from Australia.
Mate, BRILLIANT as usual....Good to see what is REALLY going on there.
Thanks for what you're doing, and....keep safe.
Regards, Pickles.

Great stuff, as usual. A personal interest for me in the staff ride briefing having lived in Quetta and traveled up and down the Bolan Pass a few times in the 1950s.

BTW, I'm using Firefox and I never have any problems viewing your images.

Richard.

Another awesome set of photo's, thanks for keeping us up on the real war.

mtansley · 12-30-2012, 09:05 AM

Once again, a fantastic series of photos showing what life is like over there.

Thanks again for sharing them with us. I can't imagine wearing all that kit in the sun and the weight of it.

So many of your photos show smiling people. When I see photos of your folks interacting with the regular Afghans I always feel that there is hope for humanity after all.
