Photography | On Assignment: A Perilous Route to Marja

"A concrete corner of a demolished building juts from the earth out of what appears to be the middle of nowhere. In its sturdy solitude, perhaps — at another time or place — it could be a monument to a great war, a solemn reminder of destruction and loss. But on this day it provided cover from sniper fire. Or shade. Or both. This is Marja."
