A Soldier’s Son – Roddie Edmonds A Righteous Man

Jeff

“The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country.” — George S. Patton

This series is generally about the life of my father, Martin C. Ross, and his career as a soldier during WWII and the Korean War.

This particular video, however is about another soldier – Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds, and his son – Pastor Chris Edmonds. Few of us will ever have an experience like the one described in this video and fewer yet would have the courage and bravery of Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds. He has left a legacy far greater than any individual could hope to attain!.

Photography – Why Take Pictures? – Power of a Photograph

Jeff

Different Sets of Feet

Every so often someone will ponder or ask the question outright: “Why do you take pictures?” The simple answer, which is often the best, is that photographs can be powerful. Did you ever see someone look at a picture and cry? Did you ever see someone look at a picture and smile? Did you ever see someone look at a picture and recoil in horror or astonishment?

I have seen all of these and I have experienced them as well. Oh, and one last thing…photographs can be fun.

The Cooperative of Photography (COOPH) has produced a YouTube video called The Power of a Photograph and they provide specific examples of

  • Unique moments
  • Iconic Moments
  • Fun Moments
  • Moments of Loss & Desperation
  • Moments of Defiance
  • Moments of Bravery
  • Moments of Love & Respect
  • …And Moments of Triumph

The video below helps us appreciate why people take photographs and the power behind pictures.
