Storaro Iraq

I don't mean to sound like a rabbit-hole cineaste who only processes life in terms of movies and images, but this N.Y. Times photo of Iraqi soldiers dealing with captured gunmen during a sandstorm is like something Vittorio Storaro would have crafted if he was working on a feature about the Iraq conflict. Those burnished orange-sandy hues look like they were rendered with a color filter. Quite beautiful.

maybe De Palma can get him for his new digitally-shot Iraq drama REDACTED...that'd be sweet...doubt Vittorio would shoot digitally though...

Speaking of Italian filmmakers and the Iraq conflict, anyone seen The Tiger and The Snow?
