Platon’s haunting portfolio of portraits of sodliers and their families stood out from the September 29 2008 issue of the New Yorker. High-contrast, grainy, and haunting, they capture the trepidation of soldiers, sailors, and Marines preparing to deploy, and the grief of the families of the fallen. The photograph of Elsheba Khan at the grave of her son, Specialist Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, is especially heartrending, and out to be on the desk of everyone in Washington who has anything to do with the prosecution of our wars.
