A Navy tradition, the first Sailor off the ship gets a kiss from that special someone. This shot was taken during the guided-missile destroyer USS Nitze (DDG 94) homecoming in Norfolk, VA (photo taken 4/18/09)

I like to try to capture human emotion … but that’s not always what the Navy is looking for when selecting images for publishing. I love seeing images that invoke some kind of emotion in me, and I’ve realized that I have a passion for trying to portray that in my images.
