Military artist and combat photojournalist, Corban Lundborg, shares his newest project titled "Extra". The series is a visual exploration of the press, propaganda and painting.

The panels are made of wood, then covered in paint, adhesive and newsprint, torn out of a book titled "WWII Extra". He then hand painted iconic WWII imagery on top of the print using acrylic paint.

 When I enlisted in the military ten years ago, I had no guidance or mentors involved in the process. Although I do not regret my path, I do wish I would have known all of my options. I didn't know there were camera careers until I had been in for almost five years. I receive messages weekly about my career path and how to join a combat camera unit. I'll share below my journey to COMCAM and resources to help the next generation make more informed decisions.
