Colonel Bill Badger
Monday, January 9th, 2012Happy New Year from Evan Baines Photography!
2011 was quite a year, and we’re bracing for 2012 to shake things up even more.
I’ve been fortunate recently to have the opportunity to work with some real American heroes, such as this photo shoot for GX Magazine featuring Colonel Bill Badger. Col. Badger was an exceptional aviator in the National Guard, but is more famous for being the one of the first to respond during the Gabrielle Giffords shooting in Arizona. Despite the fact that he was already shot, he bravely helped to subdue the gunman and prevent further tragedy. For his heroism, Badger was awarded the Valley Forge Cross for Heroism, one of the most important peacetime awards in the military.
Thank you so much to Col. Badger, Laurel Petty, and Keith Kawasaki for this opportunity! Also huge thanks for the help from my good friend and brilliant photographer Spencer Boerup.
