Photographer's Narrative

 

While my teammate and I were on the flight line at Kabul International Airport documenting Afghan Air Force medical training, an Afghan C-130 landed with causalities from a Taliban attack on Camp Bastion. When I saw the plane full of dead and wounded, it reminded me the fight is not over.
