A: In my personal opinion, I think the most powerful and emotional photo in the slide is the photo taken on March 7th, 2009 at 11:37 a.m. of Ian and his family welcoming him home at the airport. I can imagine how happy Ian is to finally be home after a year long tour in Iraq, its quite easy to tell that by the huge smile he has on.
B: The most powerful sequence of photos in my eyes would be "In Country". There are many photos that show the stress and effects that war in Iraq brings on a soldier. Ian isnt smiling much in this slide, much worse, he looks very depressed in practically every other picture.
C. The images work very well together to tell the story, documenting Ian's journey from the very begining before he enlist in the army, all the way until the end of his first year long tour in Iraq.

A: For the photos of which Ian is the main subject, the photographer puts the captions in past tense, kind of leaving the viewer to wonder what is going to happen later on now that he is back home.
B: The captions of the photos really help the viewer know what is going on in the photo, stating what the mother is saying or thinking in some cases, or what Ian is feeling when he arrives back home.

A. "March 7, 2009. 11:37 a.m. Ian arrives at the airport to his families open arms, a smile is practically tattooed on his face, there is a vibe of happiness and relief in the room, as Ian hugs his loving family".
"Momma smell my boot, that's Iraq" Ian tells his mother holding his Army boot up to her nose. Ian is back to his comic self and he is enjoying life back at home".
"Ian and his troop practice clearing a room in the "Four Man Stack" formation".
