Marlboro Man

At the suggestion of Kevin, I watched Luis Sinco's Marlboro Man. I could not agree more with everyone else. It is phenomenal how the perfect combination of photos, audio and video can create such powerful emotions. The ability to transport the viewer into the mind of the subject is truly a gift. I found myself feeling the same desperation or the heart-wrenching pain felt by both he and Jessica. This is a remarkable piece of journalism. The raw emotion captured by the photography, mixed with the audio of his guitar, the motorcycle and the sound of his lighter, provide a remarkable view into the struggles of a returning war veteran.
