I had the pleasure of witnessing the promotion ceremony of an Air Force Brigadier General today. The attention to detail and procedure and detail is something that makes the military a pleasure to photograph. I was lucky enough to make some pictures of the honor guard preparing for the ceremony and then did my best to stretch my creativity during the ceremony itself. Brigadier General Paul T. Johnson, commander of the 355th Fighter Wing, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. He is responsible for one of the largest installations and flying operations in the United States and oversees more than 6,700 airmen, 3,200 civilians and 100 aircraft.

Love, love the first picture. There is always something special in the military's ceremonies in this country, like a deep-rooted sense of pride and honor... I don't know how to explain it.
Remember the citizenship ceremony in Denver? Something like that, but with a broader feeling...
