The movie is great. We saw the Eddie Adams Exhibit at Bethel Woods this summer (site of Woodstock ’69) and the prints were fabulous. They had Unlikely Weapon playing in a small projection area. Great photographers as well as Eddie. Remember, Eddie was a Marine Corps photographer. It really addresses his ambivilance as a photographer in taking these haunting images, and the value they had at the time.
My daughter worked for the Eddie Adams Workshop this past summer. They have been archiving and scanning Eddie’s work, and the Barnstorm continues with Allyssa’s efforts. It is an incredible opportunity and experience for all, students, upcoming photographers, and the veteran’s who volunteer to lead.
It appears the movie is available to all, not just participants or Veterans. Definitely worth it as it is not out there widely.

I don’t suppose my doing contract work for Oak Ridge National Labs out here at the University of Pittsburgh will be enough for me to qualify?
Yeah, I didn’t think so :(
Are there going to be any other DC dates later this year? Figures this would happen when I’m in Iraq.
like this post so much..
