What the world needs is another blog.
Well, not really.
Years ago, an old man named Tom liked to sit on his front porch, smoking his pipe, and watching the world go by. A man of few words, Uncle Tom nevertheless welcomed the company of his great nephew, an elementary school student, and listened to the boy talk about whatever he saw or thought about. Uncle Tom is gone now, but those times on the Porch are a mind’s eye model of the aim of this venture.
And now, the Porch is a computer screen, and day by day the world still passes by.
Love your website. Where do you get all the pictures and info?

All the pix I use are in the public domain. I think it would be nice if you contact them, so they would know that we out here like what they do. They offer their stuff in several forms, including pdf, which you might find easier to use. Just click on the “Contact Us” button near the top of their page.

Likewise, agree that you’ve selected some very nice photos. Any more detailed suggestions on how to contact the owners of the photos? I cannot track any of the Helmand photos back to the DoD web site. Thanks.

1) For a certain unit or place, start here: Department of Defense Websites
http://www.defense.gov/RegisteredSites/RegisteredSites.aspx
2) If you know what you want, try: Defense Imagery Management Operations Center
http://www.defenseimagery.mil/imagery.html
3) If you want to go where the pros go, or so I believe, jump in and roam around: Defense Video & Imagery Distribution System
http://www.dvidshub.net/#
Shortcut: If you just want to find any photos from Helmand, go to Goggle.com, and type in
Helmand, photos
and look through the list the list that comes back. But if you only want recent Helmand pix, go the #3 option above, and type in
Helmand, photos
