In this exploration using photography as art form and documentary tool, the purpose is to express more fully the lives of people that Szabo has come to know and respect. These photographs are, in the widest sense, portraits that illustrate aspects of preparation, teamwork, recharging, camaraderie, duty and responsibility.
