I think the most powerful image in the slideshow is one of the most simplest photos that was taken during the slideshow. I think it was the photo of Ian sleeping in his full gear. This one is important because this shows how people in the army are always at work.
The photos taken in Denver were from photos 1 through 9.
The photos of basic training are from 9 through 51
The photos of Ian in Iraq are from photos 51 to 76
The photos of Ian back in Denver are photos from 76 to 82
I think the photos for training were the most powerful, because Ian had to prepare very hard.
The images told a story on how Ian worked and struggled but finally did it.
Usually when the photo is about Ian the caption is almost like someone is telling about Ian and are in present tense.
The captions and how they are written make you feel like you know him.
Photo # 65- Ian sleeps in his full uniform ready to leave for a mission whenever he is called.
Photo # 12- Ian got his hair shaved for the army, while the other soldiers waited in line.
Photo #76- Ian's dad waits to be reunited with his son as the troops come home.
