Honor: Marine Portraits by Stathis Orphanos March 27, 2010

Glimpse inside the private lives of young Marines in our upcoming exhibition Honor: Marine Portraits by Stathis Orphanos. Restricted access to Camp Pendleton was granted by the Pentagon for this rare photography exhibition that gave Orphanos the opportunity to photograph major base activity including Marine training camp and the intimate living quarters on base. These never before seen images depicts intimate portraits of hundreds of San Diego Marines. With great respect Orphanos captures the rituals of Marine life and honors these young men in the prime of their life.
