Thank you for a great article! What a project! Sort of puts taking photos of my cats into perspective ;-).

You think it's funny?

Absolutely not! And apologies if my comment was written in a way that could be understood as making fun.

I meant to express my admiration for the author using his photography and writing skill to highlight this situation. It is a more purposeful application of skills than what I tend to do with my photography.

I used photographing my cats as an example of something less useful.

Thank you for these insights into your earlier photographic life and those of the Kurds. Especially interesting for younger photographers, who only know the digital age, is the reflection on more peaceful nights to pass, as the films had to be send by post to the next lab. However, sleeping peacefully is difficult to imagine in so desolate, war-torn places.
