Road trip across Iraq

8 hours stuck at the back of an armored land cruiser crossing half of Iraq.. trying to take some pictures at 100 km/h through a bullet proof window and see if they can tell a story...Life goes on although sometimes it feels like everything is on the edge of collapsing (again) in post-war Iraq

8 heures coincé à l’arrière d’un land cruiser blindé pour traverser la moitie de l’Irak. La plupart des ces photos ont été prises à 100kms/h à travers une vitre pare balle (on oublie la qualité de l’image et la mise au point). La vie continue dans l’Iraq d’après guerre même si souvent on a l’impression que tout est sur le point de s’écrouler à nouveau..
