20 Years Since the Invasion of Iraq - (Operation Iraqi Freedom) / 20 años desde la Invasión de Irak - (Operación Libertad Iraquí) Two decades ago I decided to venture into covering the Invasion of Iraq, I was as green as a spring grass field, but decided to go witness history, a sad part of history I may add. I had never covered a war although I had escaped a civil war which was devastating my homeland of El Salvador during the mid eighties, my only experience with a conflict was what I had witnessed as a child. So, I bought a bunch of (@ilfordimaging) Ilford HP5 B&W film borrowed an extra Nikon F90 camera from my friend and fellow photographer @yuke_73 so I could have an extra body other than my Nikon F3 HP (@nikonusa) and headed to Iraq, ended entering and covering most of the war in Kurdistan (Northern Iraq) because it was the best war to enter the country already at war, took this decision after taking advise from a couple of photographer who had covered this region before Ed Kashi (@edkashi )and Ken Light (@kenlight_photo_ ). So, this was then beginning of my career as a photographer and paved the way to one of my career interest. NOTE: A blog post about this experiment coming soon!
