My Iraq photo book is done As many here know, I was an independent duty combat photographer in the US Navy attached to NMCB-4 (Hoorah Seabees!) from 2003-2005. In August of 2004 I deployed with the 'Bees to Fallujah, Iraq and worked to show the infrastructure work the battalion was doing. We worked with the deployed battalions of the 1st Marine Division as well as US Army combat engineers among others. I was in-country from August, 2004 until the first week of January, 2005. This last few months I have been working on compiling a book of photos that I took with my Leicas while there (my work camera was a Nikon D2h.) It's finally done and I'm putting this out to hopefully generate a buzz to get a sense of the viability of doing a first print run of at least 30 copies. As the book is 166 pages, the single-print cost on Blurb.com is prohibitive for the would-be buyer and I don't want to price the book out of reach. So here it is: http://issuu.com/phil_forrest/docs/fallujah_a_photographers_perspective Feel free to let me know what you think of it and next week I think I'm going to begin taking orders. Thanks all! Phil Forrest _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
