This is a set of photographs that was shot on an iPhone in Kandahar City and the surrounding pomegranate orchards in April and May 2011. The US soldiers I was embedded with, 2nd Platoon, Lightening Troop, 4th Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, had spent the winter months searching the orchards for Taliban fighters and their hidden weapons and explosives. When I joined them they were still waiting for the "Spring Offensive" to begin.
