The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Candid snapshots from a 101st Airborne veteran's personal collection show a soldier asleep in a muddy jeep, a chow line seen from above, snow-covered towns, and rubble cleared along Western European roads. Faded and light-damaged frames sit beside sharper ones, giving an unposed counterpoint to official photography of the 1944-1945 campaigns.
