Serving Abroad … Through Their Eyes
Thank You to all of the military, foreign and civil service personnel that submitted the 3,267 images to the Department of State and Department of Defenses’ collaborative photography project “SERVING ABROAD…THROUGH THEIR EYES”..
The response has been remarkable. The project resulted in so many inspiring images it was a challenge for the first working panel (listed here) to winnow them down, but they did, and the project has a list of 88 finalist photographers.
