Faces of Iraq

My friend Russell Klika, whom I once worked with at a daily newspaper in San Diego County, just won honorable mention in an international photo contest. It's a compelling pic he titled "Faces of Iraq." He shot it while serving in Baghdad as a combat photographer. The contest winners, including Russell's photo, are on display through May 23 at The Art of Photography Show at the Lyceum Theatre Gallery in San Diego's downtown Gaslamp Quarter.
