Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights the work of photographer An-My Lê in the new book on the American military, Events Ashore. The carefully composed, unexpectedly beautiful large format pictures, made in more than twenty countries over a decade, capture the U.S. armed forces in non-combat activities, from training exercises to humanitarian and scientific missions. The entire body of work explores the role of the military beyond war.
