Rare reader and good Israeli friend Snoopy-the-Goon is at an early-to-rise, late-to-finish photography bootcamp in Arizona this week where the above shot originated. One of his grown children lives in the vicinity. Have fun, STG.

News from the Jihadist Safety Consultant

Posted on November 5, 2009 | Comments Off on News from the Jihadist Safety Consultant
