Depth Of Field : Afghanistan through the lens of an iphone
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.
