Bribiesca followed the 106 combat outpost with Captain Hints to fully understand the violence in Zurac. He fearlessly posted himself on the front lines to obtain what he calls "crazy shots" with his back to gunfire and his camera focused on the faces of the soldiers. The story of the troops was his main objective and he wanted to translate his war information back to the United States to inform the public.
While he leads a fearless career and life, Bribiesca's time with CBS will be coming to an end after his final assignment in Yemen. Bribiesca is proud of his career and comments saying "It's been a great, great ride."
Bribiesca visted the "most dangerous frontier in the world" with reporter Lara Logan to cover war U.S. war efforts along the Pakistani border in Afghanistan. "Bullets cracked and whistled over our heads," said Logan recounting the time that their vehicle was stuck on boulders when the enemy attacked. Although they were in a life threatening situation, "Ray was just standing there...calmly filming everything." reports Logan. "He wasn't reckless, he wasn't stupid, he just wasn't afraid."
Although Bribiesca will be ending his career with CBS, he asserts, "I'll still be out there." He claims that he will be working for National Geographic as a photographer pursuing his passion for wildlife photography.

Erin, Nice job. One thought - you want the reader to understand what Ray means by "crazy shots" and he did such a great job of describing that term. His description would be a great quote to follow your line. Good work!
