Scott Kesterson is a veteran freelance photojournalist preparing to travel to Afghanistan while being embedded with the U.S. Army's 41st Brigade (composed entirely of National Guard volunteers). He plans to file a daily blog of his experiences hosted by Belo Interactive on www.KGW.com that will include video and still photographs for TV station KGW Channel News 8, in Portland, as well as the Dallas Morning News newspaper. (Both are owned by Belo Corp.) For the past three months Kesterson has been working at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, covering the pre-deployment phase while preparing for a full year in Afghanistan with a Sony HVR-A1U prosumer-grade HDV camera. Interestingly, he chose the A1U as much for its ability to capture high-resolution stills as for its HDV video capabilities.
