What an incredibly moving photograph. It's truly worth a thousand words.

I agree. This is beautiful.

Wow.
My eyes instantly teared up

Mine too. I agree about entering it into a contest, too. It's very powerful.

aww. how cute!!!

thank you very much. I guess I wouldn't mind putting in a photo contest but where are those?? I've never been in one. Thank you for your support.

You're very welcome. You got loads and loads of talent imo.
I don't know where you could submit this. All I know is that I'd make sure it was something looking for this particular subject matter. Some place that's really going to appreciate these.
My first thought is a calendar that's dedicated to soldiers and their families.

Around here we get STARS calendars (air ambulance) and the money from the calendars goes to them.

Or... start your own maybe.
I'm sure there are different foundations or something that collect money to help support soldiers and their families. Contact them and see if they'd be interested in doing a calendar to raise more money and send a portfolio.

If people who've never experienced this can be so touched as to get teary eyed then it will certainly touch those who have. I think it'd be a great daily reminder for anyone to appreciate what you go.

OMG! That pic nearly brought me to tears!

Very touching! Reminds me of each time I had to see one of my family members off and when my best friend of 26 years was deployed! She is now home safe as are all my family members

thanks everyone. I know it's not technically perfect but I was trying to capture the moment. Everytime Joanne sees this pic she cries. She misses him so much! We are planning their wedding for March 2008 so that helps her past the time.
