It is with tremendous sadness that I have learned today the passing of Officer David Vanbuskirk, 36, a Search & Rescue medic With Las Vegas Metro Police Department.
He died while saving a stranded hiker on Mount Charleston, Nevada, US.
I have had the honor and pleasure to meet him last January while shooting LVMPD SWAT for Flashbang, and there was even a couple of pictures of him in the magazine.
He was a hero who dedicated his life to save other's.
My thoughts are with his family and team.

RIP Officer

For the SIG fans out there ;-)

I know, again some "self-promotion"...

Did you guys check my new magazine ?

FLASHBANG is very different from existing publications on the market :

- 160 pages
- over 400 exclusives and never seen pictures
- no advertising !
- high quality printing and paper
- 4 issues per year
- 3 units from all over the world in each issue
- worldwide distribution
- very few (english) texts

Those units, sometimes very discreet and seldom photographed, granted me their trust and have accepted to share a glimpse into their incredible lives.
It has been nothing but an honor and a privilege to work with them and I hope that my respect for who they are and what they do will show in my pictures.

With FLASHBANG released quarterly, each edition will allow you to embark on an incredible journey across the planet to discover some of the best, most operational police or military units, revealing how they relentlessly prepare for the worst and train to be the best to protect us all.

FLASHBANG will be officially unveiled at Shot Show on January 15th (booth 20617) and will be then available for order on a dedicated website very shortly after that:

http://www.flashbang-mag.com

There will also be plenty of info and news on the Facebook page :

If you have ever appreciated my work, please forward this  to your contacts and/or post on the forums and web sites of interest that you know.
It will only take you 5' and it will mean the world to me ;-)

Again, not only there is no advertising in the magazine, but a percentage of the proceeds from all sales will be donated to each unit association or to the non-profit organization of their choice.

Only 4 more days to go before I can unveil that "surprise" I've been teasing you with for some time now...
The announcement will be made on the 14th (Shot Show media day).
Do me a huge favor: spread the word and share so that the more people will know and the news goes out with a BANG !

Definitely the last post for 2012...Or the first of 2013, depending on where you live on the planet ;-)
A special thanks to my almost 6'000 fans !
Sweet transition to the new year, stay safe and don't forget to check my page in January. Just before shot show I will unveil something interesting for all special forces/tactical teams photography enthusiasts !
