  • SummaryMan looking through window blinds with woman behind him. Photograph created for project: The veteran's lens, 2011: veterans' portraits of each other. Exhibition label: Veteran buddies. Cynthia is photographed alongside her veteran pal William Romero. Although at times she is confronted by her own sad private thoughts, like many veterans, she comes alive when she is in the presence of other veterans. Veterans will often confide things to other veterans that they would not dream of telling anyone else. They know that these are the folks that will understand.
