📸 Happy World Photography Day!

Today, we’re celebrating the power of a photograph to capture a moment, tell a story and preserve a memory.

At DOCJT, photographer Jim Robertson has spent years doing just that, capturing the people, training and everyday moments that make the academy special.

For World Photography Day, we asked Jim to choose some of his favorite snaps from 2026 that highlight life at the academy.

Take a look at a few of his favorites, and join us in celebrating the photographers who help us remember the moments that matter.

Happy World Photography Day!
