AUTOSCOPY PROJECT

This day changed my life....FOREVER
In 2004 I was hit by an IED, ( road side bomb), 
while in Iraq.  Back then there was no diagnosis
for traumatic brain injuries, while this event 
should have been catastrophic, my injuries, to include 
the traumatic brain injury, went undiagnosed for years


 

These are my personal photos taken at the time, by Larson Leidig who was in a different squad.  The above explosion is from us being tasked to blow up a field full of abandoned bombs ranging from 100 lbs to over 1000 lbs.  It took us a full year to to get rid of all these things, that's how many there were.  No idea why or how they got there.

these are some of the photos I used to design the image
I went with the broken clay to symbolize the brokenness that I felt 
after returning from combat, and am still trying to piece back together.  It
will never be the same again.
The desert pattern for the uniforms we wore.  The flag in the background
representing the sacrifices made all in the name of our country 

Ive been dealing with anger issues, memory loss and hearing loss, 
concentration issues and migraines.  I also sustained a lower back injury where I will need
surgery as soon as its too painful to walk

THESE ARE SOME FILTERS I PLAYED WITH
unfortunately I forgot to log which ones they were

This filter enhanced the edges of the shattered pieces


This one was a little freaky looking
