Most know Vincent Laforet for his tilt shift work now, and his editorial work. I found a photo essay called "The Carrier" that was done in 2003. Vincent was "embedded" on the USS Abraham Lincoln in the heat of the most recent war on Iraq. He put together a beautiful collection and decided to make it more about the people on the ship, instead of the "war" that was being fought on the boat. The average age on the ship is 21, and they work fourteen hour shifts, seven days a week for nine months. This is a great article to read, and do some research on more of Laforets' work, its great.
