Their images document issues often under represented: the insurgency as seen from inside the separate resistance movements, civilians affected by the battles between U.S. and insurgent forces, growing conservatism and fundamentalism and their effects on women, and the devastating effects of ongoing civilian casualties. Through the U.S. military's embedded journalism program, America has become accustomed to photos made from inside the U.S. military cordon, removed from the day to day realities of Iraq. In sharp contrast to the sound-bite depth of most embedde...
