Photographer, Lee Lamar Documentary Project
Parkville, MO, 2007
Photographed the documentary about Lee Lamar, a World War II pilot. Traveled to Italy and Croatia with scholarship funds, shot and edited the entire sequence of Lamarâ€™s arrival, search for his parachute, and departure.

Background

In the spring of 2007, I was selected to be the official photographer for a documentary project Park University was sponsoring about Lee Lamar, a World War II pilot. Lamar’s plane crash landed in Croatia in November of 1944, after completing a bombing run, was captured and taken to a POW camp in Germany. Sixty-three years later, Lamar returned to his crash site with family, friends, film crew, and a select set of students in tow.

Lamar and his wife Bonnie head towards the workshop of the archeologist who found Lamar’s plane. Once inside, Lamar’s entourage gathers around the table to examine pieces of his plane recovered from the crash site.

In 1944 after his crash, Lamar buried his parachute somewhere nearby. In 2007 the search for the parachute site begins.

After the first search for the parachute site proves futile, Lamar goes to his plane’s crash site. It is the first time he has been back since the war.

While most of Lamar’s plane ended up in tiny pieces, a bomb bay door survived to be used by a local for a wood stockpile covering.

Lamar eventually found where he buried his parachute, and though the chute itself was cut up for clothing long since, he expressed his satisfaction at returning to and reclaim what had once been lost.
