Eyes

I couldn't resist taking this photo of a woman in Jordon. I asked permission but I felt like I was invading her space so I just took a quick snapshot.

It was not possible to linger taking photo's in Iraq. They are very sensitive in case the photos taken are used for military purposes. Details in photos can help in targeting missiles etc.

I would have liked to have taken more time composing shots etc., but each photo was taken with some risk and had to be taken quickly and taken as discreetly as possible.

I "saw" some great shots that I "could" have taken but missed. There was a terrific energy and grittyness to the people and the surroundings in Bagdad. The Iraqi 's are a well educated,loving and generous people.

The Americans will never ever be able to destroy that.
