Happy Veterans Day! Today as we walked up the Champs Élysées I was thinking of our WWII vets who liberated this fine city from the Nazis and marched into Paris under the Arch de Triomphe. I snapped the top photo of what it looks like today at 430pm. Thank you my bothers in arms and all other Veterans. And for you future Vets, stay safe out there. #PLTeurotrip2014 #paris #veteransday #haveyouhuggedavettoday #haveyouhelpedoutabrother #vets

Another view of the #towerpoppies today at the Tower of London. 888k+ ceramic poppies for the British and Colonial fatalities during WWI. #PLTeurotrip2014 #London #toweroflondon #remeberance #fuckwar #poppies

A portion of the over 888k ceramic poppies placed in the dry moat at the Tower of London, one for each British and Colonial fatality during WW1. This is the 100th year annv of the First World War. This is one f the greatest and most sobering and affecting art installations I have ever seen. We are grateful to have visited it today. Each poppy took 3 days to make. #PLTeurotrip2014 #London #towerpoppies #art #remeberance. #fuckwar

My #tbt to that time when we were in 29 Palms. We found wild tarantulas and scorpions and made them pets. So smart at 20, so smart. #clt #cltphotogs #bigassspiders #29palms #usarmy #82dairborne #wooahh #alltheway #everday #paratrooper

Today's location. I don't have enough lights to make this interesting. Up at the crack of dawn 2 hours before talent to 'scout' the location. I didn't need the whole 2 hours. Now we wait. #clt #charlottelife #cltphotogs #photogs #photolife #setlife #editorialphotography
