some memories .....
The Day After: One of Iraq's iconic scenes of conflict, this was the Canal Hotel 24 hours after the U.N. headquarters there had been eviscerated, when only a man and a machine were left combing through the rubble. "I don't think they found anybody," says Sinclair. A day earlier, she had arrived on the scene soon after the deadly explosion to find chaos. She remembers it now as "the first major signifier that things were turning for the worse."
Fire Station: Saman, a Spanish photographer, has traveled to Iraq a dozen times on assignment for the New York Times and other newspapers. In the days immediately following the U.S. invasion, Saman came upon a burning gas station, engulfed in black fumes. "People must have gone in, lit a fire, and it just exploded." There he found an American soldier standing on a vehicle and "just yelling at people to get back, trying to return the place to some order.… No one was really in charge," he recalls.
Life Goes On: Saman captured this indelible image of man and war, coexisting, during a walk through Baghdad's impoverished and violent al-Waziriya neighborhood. The smoldering remains of U.S. military Humvees that had been attacked by insurgents threw up dark clouds against the sky. And then a man in a clean suit ambled by carrying a briefcase. "This guy walked past, and I thought it was a real scene of how life just goes on in Baghdad," he says. "Even in war zones, people have to manage their daily lives."
