PHOTOS BY LES STONE TAKEN AT ONE OF OUR SURVIVAL SKILLS WEEKEND COURSES!
During one of our Survival Skills Weekends
during 2008, one of our students was a reporter, David Wallis, for The New York
Times. He brought a photographer, Les Stone, to document the course.
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. During the last two
decades, critically acclaimed photographer Les Stone, has chronicled the human
cost of conflict in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Kosovo, Liberia, Cambodia, and
Haiti, among other war zones. The winner of several World Press Photo
Awards and Picture of the Year Awards, Stone vaulted to prominence in 1989 when
he photographed the savage, bloody beating of the newly elected Vice President
of Panama by thugs of Generalissimo Manuel Noriega. Stone's work has
appeared in the pages of National Geographic, Time. Life, Paris Match, Stem and
Fortune, as well as in the book, A Day in the Life of the United States Armed
Forces (Harper Collins). Not only did Les Stone and John McCann get along
famously, but he took some great photographs showing our Survival Skills Weekend.
All of the photos in this album are credited to Les Stone. You can see
