Afghanistan 2013

From December 2012 through February 2013, I returned to Afghanistan as an embedded contractor with a US Army unit in Bagram, Afghanistan. I got to travel quite a bit from there, and like during my previous deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, I brought a camera along.

A lot more pictures are in my photo album. Please contact me if you want full-resolution versions or if you plan to use any of these pictures.

The air base never sleeps.

Custom embroidered patches were a booming business.

Shaped over eons

Strange landscapes painted in dust

Colors of the wind

Ruins bear silent witness to past battles.
