Al’s winning image was published on assignment for the book “A Day in the Life of the United States Armed Forces.”
Al says, The most awesome moment occurred moments before taking this image at the US Coast Guard Training Center. "Before sunrise and half asleep, I stumbled my way towards the mess hall to photograph the trainees at breakfast. The entrance was packed shoulder to shoulder and layers deep of raw cadets. The Chief Quartermaster hollers, make way! An entire company of men and woman stomped their boots then slammed their backs up against the wall, three deep on either side. I walked straight up the middle into the kitchen and spotted the eggs.
To light up their expressions I placed a strobe on the side, fired by using my Pocket Wizard remote flash triggers.”
