Happy Camera Day!

I just learned from @ArmyWifeNetwork that today, June 29, is Camera Day.

This turns out to be the perfect day to share an amazing Flickr photostream I discovered today. Using a camera phone, Basetrack captures beautiful and haunting candid images of soldier life in Afghanistan.

I recommend going on over to Flickr and checking out all the photos.

Do you have any photos you’d like to share with us today?
