1. Playing with the moonlight

When he first began his army service, Dan preferred to keep his camera at home for fear of breaking it.

"In basic training, I was afraid to use my camera, until I decided to take the initiative to take it with me and start photographing my days. Eventually I asked permission from my superiors to take pictures and in every free moment, I captured moments that seemed unique."

2. A majestic view

“There is one picture I especially like. It was taken with a GoPro camera during an exercise with my unit. I took a small camera, I attached it to the barrel of my tank, and photographed exactly from the barrel’s point of view. It was a pretty special thing."
