Courage’s photos have always been the subject of some controversy, suffering under the argument that war photography can desensitize the public to scenes of violence and death. However, Courage always argued the power of the image can make more noise and have a greater impact than a gun can ever have. | Courage’s photos have always been the subject of some controversy, suffering under the argument that war photography can desensitize the public to scenes of violence and death.

== Photography Equipment == | |||
Traditionally, war photographers use an inbuilt retina camera or helmet-cam, however Courage preferred more traditional methods that enabled him to have more control over his landscape. He mainly used a Dynamo 507 3D with ultra 4Res lens and quadric digital transfer. The 900 nanoseconds transfer rate enabled photos to be transferred back to base instantly. His equipment was always coated in a substance made from titanium and cockroach shell that enabled it to withstand the radiation. It should also be noted that he preferred to shoot in an archaic sepia tone instead of full tonal color. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*One must wonder if Jake Courage ever existed, and if he had, were his images altered by Section II of [[ONI]], as the [[Photographer (character)|Photographer's]] were. It would seem odd that Section 02 would allow more brutal and telling pictures of the war to surface, as they were considerably more vehement to heavily edit such imagery. | |||
*It is speculated that Jake Courage is a participant of ONI's intentional distortion of what actually happened as the [[Second Battle of New Mombasa]] never took place in the canon Halo Universe, in order to prevent knowledge of the Forerunner, the Halos, and the Ark from being gained by civilians. This would fit with the fact that there has been no description of such a battle in any other location. | |||
