A Marine’s Disposable War · Iraq, 2003
Spent

The photograph
A field of spent casings stretches toward the horizon.
Spent belongs to A Marine’s Disposable War, the photographic body of work drawn from the disposable camera Kenny carried in Iraq. The original image’s grain, color, and softness remain part of the work.
