For something just a little different, AP Photographer David Guttenfelder captures Afghanistan’s largest-scale military operation since 2001 using a unique lens – his iPhone camera coupled with a Polaroid film filter app.

Some of you may know I have a small obsession with my iPhone camera and iPhone photography applications so I really enjoyed this set of images. In particular  image/slide 27, if that was my camera I’d be crying into my lowepro bag! 

These images also created a huge stir and heated debate on the online version of PDN magazine One of the questions raised was “Do the images romanticise the war?” due to the washed out colors and soft focus, making them almost dreamy and beautiful looking.

Do you think the style and feel of the these images take away the the fact that they are actually images of war? Let us know your thoughts.

If you’re anything like me these images really hit home documenting the hardship and ordeal the people of Haiti had to and are still going through. Click below to see some pretty powerful images of Haiti, 70 days later.
