Peter van Agtmael with a group of Afghan soldiers [abc news]
Over at Conscientious, Jöerg Colberg has posted a very interesting conversation with documentary photographer Peter van Agtmael [published also at PopPhoto.com].
It is refreshing to see new emerging photographers, some in their 20s like Peter, making a difference with their work. You can also read another interview with Peter van Agtmael at Smithsonian.com and an interesting photo diary by Peter published at abcnews. Some aditional images from Peter's can be seen here.
Miguel Garcia-Guzman"I get really frustrated when I hear excuses about not publishing pictures in the name of protecting the privacy of wounded soldiers. With few exceptions, the folks I've met have wanted others to see what they went through in their name. I think the real problem is that America has a guilty conscience and we don't want to see the pain caused by our folly." - Peter van Agtmael
