In pictures: Tragic human cost of the lies that led to war in Iraq – The Independent

When did you start getting into photography, and what do you enjoy most about it?

Pretty early, but not seriously until the 1990s when I started doing my own LP covers.

Why did you decide to photograph wounded veterans?

What bothered me, was all the lies when we went to war in the Middle East: “45 minutes to drop a bomb on us” and “the world will be safer without Saddam”, all nonsense. Not to mention the financial and human cost on both sides. When the wounded started to appear on the street, it was too all much to take, I wanted to do something.
