    Honorable Mention

This series isn't about conflict or news headlines. It's about a wedding invitation from a dear friend and the adventure that followed in a place I thought id never visit. The photos are a mix of daily life as we roamed around Baghdad suit and dress shopping, visiting the ruins of Babylon and bribing soldiers to sneak into Saddam's palace. Shot on Lomochrome Classicolor 35mm using Nikon F501.
