James Henderson left school to join the military just one semester shy of earning his degree. In 2008, he was deployed to Afghanistan. With camera in hand, he documents his training and daily life in the inhospitable landscape. After returning home from his 15-month tour, James reflects on the life-altering rigors of war and his difficulty readjusting to civilian life.
