Bearded Ninjas

Another one from my Acura final semester spec commercial, decided to keep playing with this dark theme, actually really like the results I’ve been getting here. I’ll upload the full set once editing’s finished and logging copies is completed.

life:

KICKSTARTER: Photographer Seamus Murphy has been documenting life in Afghanistan since 1994, and is hoping to raise enough money to create a documentary film about his experiences and the changes he’s witnessed in the complex, tortured central Asian country.

He’s been working with Kickstarter to collect those funds, and has shared some of his photos with LIFE.com to give potential donors a glimpse of what his film will show.

Pictured: A father hugs his daughter, ill with malaria, as they wait for treatment at a Swedish Committee clinic in Dasht-e-Qala, Takhar Province, November 2000.

It’s been amazing to see the changes better and worse that afghanistan has undergone the last few years, help support this amazing project!

life:

Here, on the anniversary of American planes dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima (August 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (August 9) — killing 120,000 people outright, and tens of thousands more through injury and radiation sickness — LIFE.com presents never-before-seen pictures from both cities taken in the weeks and months following the bombings. Included, as well, are excerpts from issues of LIFE published after the war that convey the powerful, discordant reactions — relief, horror, pride, fear — that the bombings, and the long-sought victory over Japan, unleashed.
