Chief Petty Officer Johnny Bivera, a 16-year veteran combat camera
photographer, stands near a Humvee at a rallying point in the Afghan
desert. Bivera's notes: "We just concluded a
cordon-and-search raid at a suspected al Qaeda village. Notice the
dust, we showered in it. There was no getting around the dirt when
it came to our equipment. I think every photographer in the
theater experienced bad things with the gear and all that dirt.
All my camera bodies had to get sent back for professional cleaning
after I left Afghanistan."
