Acute Photography
Everyone’s favorite warrior poet is going to be a war snapper now. Teflon Don, headed back:
I am going back.
I am not going back with the Army, this time, though that may still occur at some point in the future. I am going back of my own free will- I am becoming a participant in this great experiment of independent, citizen journalism. I am going back to Iraq as a photojournalist, accredited by the recently developed Public Multimedia, Inc.
If you would like to donate towards the purchase of equipment for my trip and receive some return on your investment (besides quality journalism, of course!), there is a new photo album up. Viewing is free- the photos are also available for purchase as high-quality prints. All proceeds will go directly to benefit citizen journalism.
That’s a cause worth supporting. I hope he plans on writing when he gets there, because in his time, Don was the best American combat writer on the ground in Iraq. But don’t just take my word for it.

Good luck, and Godspeed, TDon. I can’t contribute money, but my prayers go with you.

The MSM is foolish for not hiring these people. But I’m glad they are staying independent of those “fact-checkers” and agenda driven editors.
If this keeps up, I’ll be sending a dollar a piece to these guys. My very small budget for supporting the various independent reporters is getting spread pretty thin.

Sometimes his writing is so good you wonder whether he can pull it off without being posed and pretentious — but he does. You almost hate to praise a guy like this for fear of making him self-conscious and ruining the effectiveness of the writing.
My hope is that he can continue to “let it flow”, and give us those beautifully crafted descriptions of his piercing perceptions.
