Once Upon a Time in War is my own personal attempt at creating something of a fluid photographic retrospect of modern warfare spanning from the Great War of 1914 to the current Wars on Terror. This isn’t a presentation of the hailed Greatest Generation, but rather an attempt to cultivate an encompassing view of all major players in some of the largest conflicts that have shaped the world we’re living in. I don’t believe in the myth of the Greatest Generation. Everyone who fights for their country is the greatest of their generation.

As for me the owner, just call me Lux. I’m a university student with the basic philosophy that if I can teach someone something they never learned in high school or in a university course then I’m doing something right. I’ve found they keep a lot information outside of books and out of sight, so I want to help rectify this. These photographs are proof.
