When he is in Iraq, i think those are the most powerful images. It shows Just how much he as to go through mentally and physically. It shows us some of the hardest times in his life and the obstacles he had to overcome.
The images work to tell a story in the way that it goes through the events in his life pretty specifically. Because he is Constantly moving in his life and is involved in many different things, the images help capture all the action that would be hard to explain and together pour out emotion to the viewer.

In the photos that Ian is in the main subject, the verbs are written in present tense. the Captions let you know whats going on with Ian. It makes the viewer feel more attached to Ian and make them feel like they are with him. you Feel as if you are going on the journey with him and can understand him more.

Ian jokes with Carl about how when the Colonel bends down, they can see his underwear in Iraq. they thought it was funny how the Colonel wears bright pink boxers with kittens on it.
