A Kurdish man walking on top of a mountain behind the ancient city of Amadiya in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. The city itself is on a natural raised up plateau which was perfect for fending off ancient invading armies. A few minutes later I found out we were walking in a mine field, wonderful! Click on the photo to link to my Facebook photo page, its not updated but it still has a bit of my work.
A Kurdish-Yazidi woman with her young daughter. Yazidism is an ancient religion of Mesopotamia which surprising still exists today due to much suspicion and discrimination in this area of the world. This image was taken in Iraqi-Kurdistan close to the Syrian and Turkish borders. Her husband is a farmer and they live in a mud house, great for insulation!
