Life Goes On: Saman captured this indelible image of man and war, coexisting, during a walk through Baghdad’s impoverished and violent al-Waziriya neighborhood. The smoldering remains of U.S. military Humvees that had been attacked by insurgents threw up dark clouds against the sky. And then a man in a clean suit ambled by carrying a briefcase. “This guy walked past, and I thought it was a real scene of how life just goes on in Baghdad,” he says. “Even in war zones, people have to manage their daily lives.”
