Under the Gun(s)
----
After the Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration service (conducted under a tent on the rear deck), we were among the last to leave the Battleship New Jersey.
----
Congressman Rob Andrews (trench coat) of the New Jersey First District (Camden--the most dangerous city in the U.S.) has hosted this ceremony for the last 23 consecutive years. He stops to talk to constituents as the rain begins pelting down again.
----
Truth be told, I had forgotten to change the camera settings that I had been using inside the tent, and the first few outdoor shots I snapped were overexposed and with the wrong white balance.
----
But something about this image kept me interested enough to work on it for over an hour.
