It read, \u2018Oz is dead\u2019. Oz was a soldier serving in Helmand. He was an incredible soldier. His testimonies are all over the British press. He\u2019s good copy. He\u2019s good looking, got a wife and kid, incredible job. He defused something like 100 IEDs, saved uncountable lives. He was blown up and killed on the last day of his deployment. He talked to me about buying a house in Cornwall, about how his wife didn\u2019t know he smoked, about how he loved his job but wanted to get out of the army. The usual. My friend, who also met him, is a journalist. He will be writing a story about him too. He will get paid. I will probably sell the pictures. I won\u2019t forget him. No one will. That\u2019s what you say isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DGG_0542.jpg?w=500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DGG_0542\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <br \/> Since I came to Afghanistan nearly two years ago the list of dead people I have met continues to grow. I know dead Afghan journalists, dead women&#8217;s-rights campaigners, and dead soldiers\u2026 I probably know dead people I don\u2019t even know are dead. I have a picture database on my Mac with a death clock ticking on the lot of \u2018em. Might as well call it a Death Database &lt;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.deathlist.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.deathlist.net\/<\/a>&gt; . <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DGG_8526.jpg?w=500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DGG_8526\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <br \/> After this week\u2019s tragic incident I am now excruciatingly aware that the next time a bomb goes off in Helmand I am more than likely to have a picture of the casualty mucking about before a dawn patrol or chilling out, smoking in his bunk. The next time a suicide bomb goes off outside the NATO base in Kabul I\u2019ll probably have a snap of the kid selling chewing gum who\u2019s no longer there. My \u2018Personal pics\u2019 folder may contain laughing, carefree, drunken images of the next victims of a guesthouse suicide attack. Do I even know their names?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DGG_0620.jpg?w=500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DGG_0620\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/> It\u2019s a strange and slightly morbid concept. But not that unlikely either. I emailed Oz\u2019s wife a picture of her husband two weeks before he never came home. She heard I shot some good pictures of him. They were ok. No Pulitzer Prize material. But now they are in every single British newspaper and on numerous websites. I didn\u2019t get paid. Should I even ask? <\/p>\n<p> My best friend\u2019s brother was blown up in Helmand last June. He didn\u2019t die. He wrote 5,000 words on it. He got paid. The two of us went back there in October. We nearly died on patrol. Well, we actually walked over an IED that didn\u2019t go off. Does that even count? Are we lucky? It certainly looks like we should be on the Deathwatch list. &lt;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.deathlist.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.deathlist.net\/<\/a>&gt; <\/p>\n<p> So if that\u2019s the case what should one do? Do you take pre-emptive measures to make yourself safer or resign yourself to fate? No one gets to decide when you slip off this mortal coil but there are crucial issues you could possibly take care of, should the \u2018thinkable\u2019 actually happen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DGG_5842.jpg?w=500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DGG_5842\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <br \/> Where to be buried? Assuming there are bits of you worth gathering left, the British cemetery is an idyllic spot. For only $150 (including digger, excluding headstone) you get a lovely plot in one of the quietest parts of Kabul. Hurry up thought, it\u2019s filling up fast.<\/p>\n<p> Who will supply my pictures to the media? Will they want them? Who will write my eulogy? \u201cHe really loved the Afghan people and would want&#8230;\u201d Crikey do you really want to leave this to chance? Let me say now I want an NGO set up in my name dedicated to funding Alcoholic Photographers in Troubled Times. How APTT.<\/p>\n<p> Who will update my Facebook? I don\u2019t even have a will. \u201cI leave my Macbook and Nikon D3 to\u2026 Please remove my midget fetish porno collection from under my bed&#8230;\u201d So many things to think about my head is spinning. <\/p>\n<p> So what are the chances? Well probably not as bad as I may have led you to believe. The reason I write these weekly \/ monthly \/ random blogs is to try and get across what real life is like here In Afghanistan. \u2018Life\u2019 being the operative word. I have spent the last two years telling everyone how safe it is here. But sorry, today it\u2019s all about death. Unfortunately they go together like liver &amp; onions. I write this train of thought on a wonderful crisp and sunny November morning. I am happy with life. I &#8216;heart&#8217; my job. I have wonderful friends. I feel alive. Today maybe for the first time in my life I feel mortal and I have just stuck two fingers up to fate and shouted at the top of voice &#8216;come and get me!&#8217; I hope not. Watch this space\u2026 gulp.<\/p>\n<p> &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Postscript<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><em>The moral lines we draw between us and our adversaries are fictional.
