Noteworthy mentions in the press and a list of publications that have featured Jayel Aheram's photography.
Hot Picks: Harsh Desert
HARSH DESERT: Jayel Aheram is something of an expert on harsh deserts. As an active-duty marine stationed at Twentynine Palms, he's withstood the brutal conditions of the Mojave desert and Iraq's Al-Anbar province.
Aheram's photographs, like deserts themselves, depict scenes of beauty and desolation. The Harsh Desert goes beyond the theater of war to reveal an Iraq few Americans have seen.
Aheram's exhibit runs through tomorrow at the Incredibleartist.com Gallery in Palm Springs.

Jayel Aheram's Photos Strike Chord
Photographer and Lance Cpl. Jayel Aheram, 23, is in the Philippines on his second deployment with the United States Marine Corps.
While he's been a world away, people in Palm Springs have flocked to Incredibleartist.com Gallery to see his work - photos he took during his first deployment to Iraq. His art show, which took place Feb. 21 through Wednesday, was one of the best-attended the gallery has ever had, owner Rick Pantele said.
So much so, Pantele plans to bring the exhibit back from March 18 to 31.

Testimonials
From Mathieu: "Jayel nous fait partager son quotidien à travers des images d'une qualité exceptionnelle, avec une vision très interessante de son experience dans le Corps des Marines."
From Palestar: "Every time I turn around Jayel has grown in his talent, his humor, his joie de vivre - one has a great time living vicariously through his photos. He is a gift to us all."
From Kimberly: "The only person on Flickr compelling enough to bring me out of testimonial writing retirement.
Intellligent, admirable, adorable, all kinds of A's are for Aheram...oh wait, there's an I in there. See why I stopped writing testimonials?
Just know he is all those things, plus a bunch of stuff that it would embarass me to write. Plus he's a really good photographer.
'Nuff said."
From Corin: "Jayel has made me seriously consider signing up to the armed forces.
He has a very big gun, can do wheelies in his tank and looks shhmokin' in his uniform.
So much so, in fact, that there are several battalions of Flickr women vying for his attention. He has officially started a war in my pants."
