My Bio Born in 1984 in Denver, Colorado Jeffrey Dale grew up off and on in Louisville, Colorado; spending middle school in Yokohama, Japan. After joining the US Army in 2002 he would eventually be stationed around the world in places such as Korea, Afghanistan, and Haiti. In 2007 he was inspired by a close friend to return to school.

When he returned to Colorado he moved to Ft. Collins and began schooling where he discovered his passion for art and photography at Colorado State University. In 2010 at the rank of Sergeant, Dale deployed to Afghanistan as part of the Global War on Terror - not as a photojournalist but rather as an IT Systems Specialist. Just like art found him, so too did documenting the journey of Afghanistan.

While in Afghanistan, Dale also worked as first the Photo Editor and later as Assistant Editor for "The Mountain" magazine.

Currently Jeffrey resides in Fort Collins with his dog Polo and works as the Art Editor for the Journal of Undergraduate Research.

Things I Don't Mind The World Knowing

Spoiler alert: I'm thinking my next book will be about...
I am doing two projects at the moment. First I am releasing a new book titled "Close Combat Optic" which takes another look at my work from Afghanistan in 2010 but from the photographic point - it will feature less photos but all photos will be full page. I will discuss in the book what I saw and wanted to capture in each image. The other project involves college life - I want to take pictures that depict the college experience away from the brochure.
