Photographers in Iraq have launched their own online blog to showcase their work and tell the stories behind the pictures they take.<\/p>\n
The Baghdad Bureau blog was the brainchild of New York Times<\/em> correspondent Stephen Farrell who called Amateur Photographer<\/em> to tell us how it will give an insight into the way photographers approach capturing images in a conflict zone.<\/p>\n The blog will allow photographers to explain how they overcome occupational hazards, which include dust storms, checkpoints and the ?exacting demands? of digital technology and the internet.<\/p>\n Launching the blog Farrell wrote: ?As different photographers move through The New York Times’<\/em> Baghdad Bureau? we will discuss ? in text, video, audio and, of course, in pictures ? the many different aspects of working here.?<\/p>\n The New York Times<\/em>? photographers work with, as well as separate from, US forces. Their pictures cover conflict, social and personal issues ? even sports stories ? for news and feature articles.<\/p>\n Farrell said he hopes Iraqi photographers can be included in future posts.<\/p>\n Details of how photographers protect themselves will not be revealed to avoid putting themselves in even more danger.<\/p>\n ?Your comments, feedback and questions are welcome,? continued Farrell.<\/p>\n For details visit http:\/\/baghdadbureau.blogs.nytimes.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Photographers in Iraq have launched their own online blog to showcase their work and tell the stories behind the pictures they take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":25069,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-25068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
