The Lens blog is featuring some really gripping photography from Iraq by Adam Ferguson, an Australian photographer. Mr. Ferguson traveled around the country on assignment for The New York Times to document the time after the quiet, unceremonious end of the Iraq war. Jack Healy, who was a foreign correspondent based in Baghdad during the war, writes of Mr. Ferguson's work:
A young Iraqi boy leads his camels through the desert. A Christian girl roller-skates on a dirt path while snow falls. In Najaf, a group of Muslim women mourn the loss of a relative killed in a car bombing while another shops for jewelry at a local market.
This is not war, and it is not peace.
