Associated Press photographer Anja Niedringhaus has been covering
conflicts from Bosnia to Afghanistan for more than 20 years, earning a
Pulitzer Prize in 2005, as part of a team of AP photographers covering
the Iraq War. She has traveled to Afghanistan numerous times,
photographing events from 2001 until today, sending photos from Kandahar
as recently as yesterday. Documenting a decades-long story like the
Afghanistan War is a challenge for any photojournalist, from simple
logistical issues, to serious safety concerns, to the difficulty of
keeping the narrative fresh and compelling. Niedringhaus has done a
remarkable job, telling people's stories with a strong, consistent
voice, an amazing eye for light and composition, and a level of
compassion that clearly shows through her images. Gathered here are just
a handful of her photos from the war-torn nation, part of the ongoing
series here on Afghanistan. [40 photos]
