The young recruits were much better outfitted and armed (thanks to the Americans) than when I photographed a similar situation in 1991. They were crisp, attentive and confident. I am trying to get out on patrols and photograph them on duty, at checkpoints, etc. Training shots at this point leave a lot to be desired for me. In general, I am dealing with image and experience fatigue. I’ve seen and photographed too much at this point in my life and seem to constantly be facing situations I’ve been in before. It’s the visual challenge, but moreover and more importantly, it’s the challenge of making it meaningful and being able to find a purpose to the work I’m doing beyond completing an assignment. I am just not the same person I was and am not satisfied as easily. I’m looking for more meaning and purpose to my work. Hopefully, that will reveal itself as I move further into this project.
I ended the day in frustration and just went to sleep in the car. Then as we were driving, I opened my eyes to see two tour buses of school-boys piling out to a monument on a hill of two Iraqi tanks that commemorate a battle that the Pesh Merga won in 1991. I jumped out of the car and hopefully made a cool and meaningful image. #photojournalisms #journal #icausebeautiful #photojournalist #iraq

How do you bring purpose to your work? Use #icausebeautiful to share an image you’ve made that beyond the visual and holds a significant meaning.
