DUSTDEVIL 35 - My first Iraq book available for order on Blurb

After several years of procrastination my first Iraq book "DUSTDEVIL 35", is available for order on Blurb.

This book includes many of my photos as well as one of John Camp's stories from the trip.  Thank you John for graciously letting me include your work!



I've also started work on a second (untitled) book of photos and stories from the 2007 embed with Bravo Company in Fallujah... no ETA on that project yet...

Combat Photographer Video Game

Been there done that... not sure it makes a compelling video game...

"Warco is a first-person game where players shoot footage instead of a gun. A work in progress at Brisbane-based studio Defiant Development, the game is a collaboration of sorts; Defiant is working with both a journalist and a filmmaker to create a game that puts you in the role of a journalist embedded in a warzone."

Day by Day, by Chris Muir (updated daily)



Chris Muir is the cartoonist that I met in Kuwait. He spent two weeks in Iraq at the same time I was there in February 2007, and so thought it would relevant to showcase his work on my site. Here is a link to Chris' humorous travelogue of this Iraq trip: http://billroggio.com/archives/2007/03/arrival_alignright_v.php
