Simple Pictures

As repetitive and disheartening as it is, I still read the news. Sometimes I find information that encourages me but mostly, I am curious about what is happening all around me. In that endeavor, I came across "Unseen Iraq" in the Washington Post. Photographer Andrea Bruce presents--literally--snapshots of daily life in Iraq. One image and the story behind it. The combination of a single photo and a few words tells more about life under occupation than all the chattering heads and experts combined.
