Sfc. Golden created this charcoal portrait of a member of the 101st Airborne Division based on a photograph that he took of the Soldier while deployed to Mosul, Iraq, in 2003. It is a study in contrasts, with strong light and shadows and the Soldier’s soft smile contrasting with the harshness of his weapon and gear.
