"Battle is not a terrifying ordeal to be endured. It is a magnificent experience wherein all the elements that have made man superior to the beasts are present: courage, self-sacrifice, loyalty, help to others, devotion to duty."

General Patton

( thank you john for allowing me to take this portrait. I realized when I took John's picture that it was a challenge for me. I find it very easy to photograph a woman and her sensuality, but very difficult to express masculinity when I have a man as a model. It was very difficult for me to choose which picture to use today, but I think the one I choose was because it expressed more what I would expect of a male portrait.)
