Photographer’s Note
Disabled orphenage in Baghdad in Al-Latifiya district.
In 2003 may american doctors and some iraqis went to this orphenage, for the first visit, my friend, hi is an iraqi pediatriant doctor ask me to go with him, and take som pictures there.
No beds, no toys, no nothing... just hard air inside, just screaming, just poorness... and after no really help.
Sorry ... it was repainted after, and they got some toys .. some of this kids began to play, some others just show it from the cage of the freedom...
But sometimes I think, that cages are a real cages of the freedom, 'cause they really did'nt know what is happened and happening now on the streets on Baghdad...
I know, this picture, and some of my other photos are so "graphic" ... but this is the real world ... and may be so dark, but the black is shining out under the repainted white ... and repanting the reality, renaming the dictatorship is does not mean ... we did something / they did someting for the real freedom... or just let's play with the words freedom is feardom?

Keep the pictures coming, no matter how hard and explicit they are. People need to see them. After all photography is not only about over saturated landscape or the like.
