My grandfather and brother both were in the army and one of my most favorite things to do is sit and look at their pictures. I was wondering what a person would have to do to be a military photographer. I”m going to photography school right now but always wanted to join the military.

Could you please point me to it? Thanks in advance. By the way, aside from your words, I don’t seem to be able to find any of your photographic work on the web. Could you please point me to it?

Again, quite the contrary. The military photo education was precise, concise, concentrated on craft, wasted zero time on useless intellectual niceties, and honed us to bring home the photo bacon. It is lean and unforgiving--you're out in a nanosecond if you don't measure up, many are lined up to take your place. In comparison, civilian photo schools in which I have taught cost students arms and legs in terms of money, yet spoil them stupid with bogus Art theories, without providing them with the rock bottom craft basics critical for survival in today's dog eat dog photo environment.

Certainly unusual doesn't mean "strange" but more like "uncommon". It is good to hear that the training is excellent ... what else can one expect for the most sophisticated military in the world? Thanks again! Miguel Thanks for sharing your opinion Michal. Certainly unusual doesn’t mean “strange” but more like “uncommon”.

Thanks again!

I didn't find it unusual when I was a military photographer. Quite the contrary, I found it to be as usual as it gets. Looking back on it, a couple of decades later, it still doesn't strike me as unusual. Perhaps the training was unusual: as in absolutely superb. Having taught since then, I find the military photo schools to be head and shoulders above civilian schools of photographic education. Unusual?
