Military Amputees featured in Photography! AMAZING!

A photographer from Los Angeles had a brilliant idea of featuring wounded veterans, including amputees in his photos. 

Michael Stokes is a fine arts photographer. He usually takes photos of athleticism who are in the military. 

But last year, he decided to create an album of very fierce and striking photos of military people who have been wounded in their combats. 

The photos turned out to be amazing. It started with his subject, Alex Minsky, who is a retired marine corporal. Minsky lost his leg when a roadside bomb happened in Afghanistan last 2009. 

Stokes said that before they did the photo shoot, he claims that he made a research on photos of amputees and he saw that most of it are emphasizing the lost parts.

Stokes said, “That was not the vibe I was getting from [Minsky], so I decided to simply photograph him as if he was not an amputee, photograph him exactly the same way I would any of the models I had worked with.”

The photos turned out to be really amazing. He decided to create a book featuring the photos of the military people. The titles were "Exhibition" and "Always Loyal". A part of the proceeds will support the wounded US veterans.

According to the news, the owners of the company will be interviewed to know why is there an overcrowding in the building, the owners will be also asked why they allowed workers to do welding without any permit.

According to the Fire chief, they didn't receive any call that there is a fire, but when they saw the smoke coming from the building, within 3 minutes they immediately responded. They are thinking that the employees inside the building tried to put out the fire, but eventually, they failed to do so.

It was also stated that whenever a company exceed a total of 50 workers they should at least install some sprinklers in both floors of the building.
