This is a shot of one of my favorite Mission Crew Commanders, (Ret.) Lt Col Jim Roman, a great guy and the absolute definition of old school. I was one of the first people off the rotator coming home and I positioned myself to capture everyone touching down back in the states for the first time in three months. There was a mix of a lot of emotions, but I really think the expression of indifference was captured perfectly here. You’ll see that in a lot of old dogs, like the Army Lt Col in the foreground to the left. I was starting to feel it too, which I took as my cue to leave the Air Force.
