In May I had the pleasure of working with fellow journalist, Sebastian Junger, when I photographed him for the London Times.  I met him at his hotel in D.C. during the his tour to promote his new book, War.

Recently, Junger released a documentary with Tim Hetherington called Restrepo.  Its a powerful documentary capturing the story of a platoon stationed in the Korengal Valley, a heavy battle front in Afghanistan.  The name of the movie comes from the 15 man out post the movie revolves around.  The members of the platoon named the outpost after a medic that was killed in action.

I have to say I enjoyed the short amount of time I had with Junger. He was quiet and tired from his long promotional tour, but was accepting of my ideas and went with the flow.  I often wonder how journalists cope with the stress and imagery they see during war and conflict coverage.  How does it effect their lives, their families?
