Portrait Shot
It was probably when my 6-week boot camp training was about to come to an end. Some 2~300 new recruits were lined up at the training field to have their portrait shots taken. When it was my turn after a long wait, the soldier with a camera started to shout at me, ¡°Back straight! Hold up your chin!¡± The soldier did not give me time to think but pressed the shutter anyway and yelled, ¡°Next!¡±. Utterly unprepared, the picture was taken instantly and during that short period of time I was so nervous that my head was a blur for awhile afterwards.
After the training was over, I was assigned as an army photographer. During their time in the army, soldiers are required to have their identification pictures taken on several occasions. Unlike pictures taken outside the military base, they are neither high quality nor natural. When a buck private is assigned to the barrack, a top sergeant brings him to the photo department as if they are father and son. Top sergeants who are about to be discharged from the service too often visit the photo department to take a picture with close peers.
In the army, pictures are taken with two or three soldiers standing next to each other to save films. After printing and trimming each soldier¡¯s portrait in standard size, I collected left-over photo papers instead of throwing them away. I too took several portrait pictures with fellow comrades before being discharged from the service but I don¡¯t remember their faces because they have been cut out from the pictures: identification with names but no faces only remains.
