11/12/09 - Odd Articles
“His bare back is still red raw from their freshly-inked names. But former soldier Shaun Clark had promised to have the name of every troop killed in Afghanistan tattooed on his body in honour of their sacrifice. And he wasn’t going to back out. Mr Clark, 43, spent more than four hours in the tattooist’s chair today as each of the 232 names were etched in ink over his chest and back. Mr Clark, who served with the 8th Battalion Light Infantry Regiment from 1989 to 1996, was waiting in the tattooist’s chair at 11am this morning to carry out his painful pledge. The first name was etched on his body just as the traditional Armistice Day two-minute silence began. He said: ‘I don’t mind suffering for a few days if I can let the lads know that people really care about what they’re doing out there, and raise some money for the guys coming home wounded as well.” w/ photos

Penguin Becomes Photographer
11/12/09 - Odd Articles
“An inquisitive Emperor penguin looks through the viewfinder of a camera in Antarctica as his companions appear to pose for a photograph in front of the lens. Shocked photographer David Schultz, 53, snapped the curious group exploring his camera and tripod when he left them on the snow and ice. The fascinated penguins approached David each day as he hiked two kilometres from a helicopter base camp to the main Emperor rookery in the Weddell Sea. The fluffy chicks, who were just a few months old, were also encouraged by their parents to approach and have a look around. David snapped away from his camera on a tripod but backed away and continued taking photos with a second camera as the penguins moved towards him. He was amazed when two of the penguins appeared to pose for a playful shot in the pristine white landscape while a third framed them from behind the lens… David said: ‘The penguins were humbling, hilarious, extremely curious and wonderfully photogenic.” w/ photos
Dogs Welcoming Home Soldiers

“I can’t begin to imagine how hard it would be to leave my family for months at a time, especially if my destination were Iraq or Afghanistan. And I don’t know how I could deal with my wife being deployed overseas. These reunion videos—for me, at least—shed a tiny beam of light on how emotionally draining being a military family can be. They’ll also make you want a dog.” w/ videos
