A facinating photo-travelogue by Iraqi-American Usama Alshaibi, who returned to Iraq after 24 years. Since he's originally from there, and has lots of family there he got to see Iraqi society from a perspective pretty much impossible for a westerner to get these days. He also has a trailer for his documentary about the trip, called Nice Bombs, but honestly the photos are much more revealing then the trailer. However, there's also a great interview with him here: part one and part two.
