Artist's Description
This was taken on Memorial day 2013. Freedom Tower: One of the most well-known landmarks on Hickam is its beautiful water tower named Freedom Tower, located at the far end of the Parade Mall, across from the 15th Wing headquarters building. The tower was built under the direction of Captain Howard B. Nurse of the U.S. Army's Quartermaster Corps, at a cost of $43,146.60, and it was completed on 14 January 1938. Of Moorish design and similar to another famous tower built during that era at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, Freedom Tower stands 171 feet high. It is octagonal in shape, with a radius of 18 feet 5 inches, and each of its eight sides measures 14 feet 6 inches across.

About Craig Wood
My first camera was a Kodak Brownie that I purchased with a $5.00 bill that I found at the age of 12 (69 years ago, so no digital then). My first black and white photos were of the Steinhardt Museum in San Francisco and later the Kon Tiki, Thor Heyerdahl's sailing raft. Needless to say I was hooked. I joined the Air Force in 1960 and traveled throughout Asia. Even after retiring from the Air Force I was still in and out of Asia and Hawaii. My usual choice of 35 mm cameras was by Canon. I've done some 4 X 5 macro photography for a friend's magazine and shot lots of weddings, B Day parties, friend's kids / animals and many other joyous occasions. I'm now retired after working for the government for 42 years so spend a lot of time shooting...
