A few weeks ago I photographed a military exercise in Dokkum, a beautiful town in Fryslân. At the end of the day a company of young marines had to storm a builders' yard occupied by 'insurgents'. There I came across this young dancer.
The yellow stop on the barrel of his Diemaco C7 assault rifle indicates the thing can only shoot blanks now. The expression on this young marine's face indicates he is loving his job. As an 'insurgent' he is allowed to frolic around instead of being a disciplined soldier.
If it were all for real, this dance would probably not have looked so elegant. Or there would be 5 dead marines by now. And one photographer.
