Iraq Perspectives II: Night Vision
by Benjamin Lowy
Download picture
Iraq through a lens, darkly. Night vision has brought a new perspective to the viewer. Firmly attached to my camera by means of duct tape, dental floss, and occasionally chewing gum, the U.S. military supplied Night Vision Goggles (NVG) reveal a darker Iraq of abandoned streets and nighttime military raids, of cowering civilians and anxious soldiers. Like Iraq Perspectives I, these images were also made through a barrier, a technology that allows  only a few to pierce the darkness of the Iraqi night. The rest of Iraq, like the rest of us, are left in the dark.
