Fruits and Nuts

This snapshot serves as a glimpse into the risks I take on an everyday basis in a war zone. First, as you can see, the danger of being photographed in an extremely unflattering position looms constantly. The arid desert air has a way of warping camera lenses so as to make a person's slim midsection appear swollen and pudgy. Things printed with a camoflauge pattern jump out at you at every turn, sneaking up behind you when you least expect it. But besides all this, it is perhaps the boxed juices that strike the greatest fear in the hearts of noble fighting men...that little drop of juice that projects itself with deadly precision into the eye of the parched prospective partaker. As you can see from the photo above, I barely escaped alive, having looked death in the face. Heaven only knows what adventures await in the coming months...wish me luck!!!!!
