Smoking policeman

Dohuk, Iraq

Yesterday I was lucky enough to accompany a journalist with a visit to see the chief of police. He then offered us a tour of the city to check out the security arrangements for the election.
As you can imagine security is very tight. there are checkpoints and roadblocks everywhere.
everybody is hoping that it will be enough to keep the terrorists away.

Dear Anthony,
I have been browsing the net for the last six months looking for images on Iraq... Ivae never found any photos that have the good eye for a shot, love and beauty..
I have a lot of photos in my archive... I am rallying currently an anti-sectarina campaign under a banner called iraqism.net...
I have made many slide shows to raly for that cause... It is a non poliical non profit move ( as a ammatter of fact I pay for every thing myself).
I wonder if you allow having some of your photos in my slide shows...
I would love to have some of the shots in my shows..
I will be indebted and gateful if you respond to me.
My family 150 years ago resided in Kurdistan ..They moved eighty years ago to Baghdad. I do understand Kurdish ( Sulaimaniyyah) .
I loved your photos and I congratulate you for the wonderful job done.

Just listening to the news on insurgent attacks on the day of the election. So this is 'war ghetto style chic'?
