  Photos by Craig HlavatyAftermath is of the mind that the best way to tackle something that is reviled or feared is to confront it head on. Like global terrorism, street gangs, or gingivitis, you must take it on at its source, even if doing so makes you feel insecure, vulnerable or wholly foolish. Maybe it's the military in us that pushes us to attempt things that others would cower at. Or maybe it's our continual drinking. For those reasons, and many others, Aftermath embedded ourselves i
