Iraq - Baghdad - Reporter
In front of the Kadhimain Tomb / Mosque in Baghdad. I was told that, since Saddam's removal from power, the borders and thus sacred shrines of Iraq had been re-opened to visitors and the devout from Iran, banned for years from visiting sites they held holy, such as this one.
In this photo I'm actually speaking with a western woman dressed in a traditional outfit. Lois Raimondo is a photojournalist and was on assignment in Iraq for the Smithsonian Magazine, preparing a feature story: Baghdad Beyond the Headlines.
This photo was taken by the Japanese traveller I befriended in Jordan and visited Iraq with. He later emailed me the file.
