In The Media

View a portfolio of Iraq images at No Caption Needed, a website that features (and discusses at length) “iconic photographs, public culture and liberal democracy.” No Caption Needed is also the title of the book by Robert Hariman of Northwestern University, and John Louis Lucaites of Indiana University. The website is highly recommended for writers and photographers who would like to improve their work, and their understanding of the meaning and impact of photographs.
