Iraq: A Hard Story to Tell

With Iraq being Iraq -- constantly topping the headlines only to be trumped briefly by the tsunami and the Michael Jackson court case -- the recent resurgence of news about the first-ever (hopefully not corrupt) democratic elections had me surfing the web looking for photo-related Iraqiness. This is what I've found so far:

Richmond Times-Dispatch photographer Dean Hoffmeyer kept an online journal about his trials and tribulations while working in Iraq. You may remember Hoffmeyer from having the front-page photo on almost every paper across the nation after the attacks in the messhall near Mosul.

The Xmas in Iraq piece by USA today photographer Jack Gruber was initailly posted over at Sportshooter. And as one friend said via e-mail, "It's not a super sophisticated piece of multimedia but the audio is so powerful that it brought tears to my eyes. Wow."
