“I was visiting DC on a business trip and wanted to visit Arlington Cemetery where some of the most famous and brave Americans are buried. Visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was important to me because my father is a Vietnam Veteran. I wanted to take a photo of the wall from a perspective I had never seen before. I set the focus on my lens at about 2’, then rested my camera against the wall and took the photo. Just by happenstance, another visitor walked up and put their hand on the wall which made for a very moving and unique image. I don’t remember what year this was but it was shot in the 90s on film and is still one of my all time favorite photos I have taken.” – Bill Vahrenkamp
