IRAQ
later the air raids of the Turkish Air Force were flown here. An area where the military
is permanently present. Here the picture "Non military man" was created. A young man, probably
a shepherd walking along the road. A view without military in the picture was rare here, so
special. . In Iraq I saw my first corpse: an IS fighter, who presents us quasi as a trophy
was. The head here, the body there. Not a pleasant memory.

entry description
I went to Iraq to make a story about the female Peschmerga fighters. First we drove to the north, near Schingar. Two weekslater the air raids of the Turkish Air Force were flown here. An area where the military
is permanently present. Here the picture "Non military man" was created. A young man, probably
a shepherd walking along the road. A view without military in the picture was rare here, so
special. . In Iraq I saw my first corpse: an IS fighter, who presents us quasi as a trophy
was. The head here, the body there. Not a pleasant memory.
