Tim McMental is back's photostream  

I snapped this young man in Dharavi, Mumbai. Dharavi is the largest and most famous of all Indian slums since the film Slumdog Millionaire was filmed here. Although I didn't feel threatened at all during my walk about I'm not sure I'd want to be there at night!

On this Rememberance Day, I would like to show an image of a young man who for his too few years saw way more than any young man should have to live through, who gave his life for his country and freedom.
Eliot Dunne, Fleet Marine Force Warfare Specialist, beloved eldest son of one of my oldest and most treasured of friends Frank and his wife Salina and brother to Erica & Ehtan.
Eliot served as a US Navy Corpsman (medic) serving with 2/5 and 1/5 US Marine Corps in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Awarded; Purple Heart, Navy Good Conduct Medal NATO, Afganistan Campaign, Iraq Campaign, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Global war on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.

REST IN PEACE

Any Dipterists out there in flickrland know what type of fly this may be?

I set this with a really high ISO of 6400 to get this soft grain, turned out really well I think?
