For those of you who didn't hear it on the radio:
I am going back.
I am not going back with the Army, this time, though that may still occur at some point in the future. I am going back of my own free will- I am becoming a participant in this great experiment of independent, citizen journalism. I am going back to Iraq as a photojournalist, accredited by the recently developed Public Multimedia, Inc.
If you would like to donate towards the purchase of equipment for my trip and receive some return on your investment (besides quality journalism, of course!), there is a new photo album up. Viewing is free- the photos are also available for purchase as high-quality prints. All proceeds will go directly to benefit citizen journalism.
It's too soon yet to talk about where I'm headed and when- I'll fill in those details once we're done working out paperwork and red tape and I actually head for the sandbox again.

So expected, and this is from someone who never met you!
So many stories that deserve to be told, and you are just the person to tell them!
Can't wait to hear the details...
AWESOME!!! I'll see if I can budget out some money to support y'all!
Miss it that much, huh?
I hope you don't mind me asking, but how is that. Are you getting some kind of Furlough, or are you going with your Uniform on?
Would like to contribute..keep us posted..

Excellent stuff TD. Bill Roggio's Public Multimedia is an excellent organization and I'm so glad that you are going to be part of it. You are made for such a mission.
Can you clarify how we contribute? Is it hust a matter of buying a photo. If so I'm all for that. You've got some great pics up.
P.S. Madtom. TD is in the Reserves. He's not in uniform now.
I loved your pics before. You have an eye for a great picture man.
I look forward to it with great anticipation. :)

Incredible! good for you, I trust it will work out well for you.
I just got back from a two week embed in Balad, and there weren't ANY other independent/blogger types in country the day I in-processed at CPIC.
I'm glad to see you are picking up the torch!
Good luck!

It will be wonderful to have your voice back from Iraq, but I am awed at the sacrifice that you and your family are making.
May you have a good and productive term in Iraq, and a safe and happy return!
Wow. Unexpected...yet not.
Good luck and stay safe, TD.
Good luck in your new adventures. Be safe, and keep bringing us the same insight and honesty you've given us here for so long already.
Stay safe TD! I'm amazed that you're doing this voluntarily and stoked to get back to reading your work!
