BOSTON, Mass. - October 15, 2007 - Over recent years, we've become familiar with the term "embedded journalist." What about "embedded artist?"

WBUR's Andrea Shea has this story about Claire Beckett, a Boston photographer who hunkered down at military training camps to shoot newly enlisted soldiers getting ready for combat in Iraq.

One more thing: this artist uses a very unique camera.

Audio for this story will be available on WBUR's web site later today.
