     “Ghosting Home,” featuring images taken during Hunt’s time embedded in Korengai Province, Afghanistan, is a series of portraits that are both beautiful and haunting. Many of the portraits were published in Broad Street‘s first issue, “Dangerous Territory.”

      You can see an assortment of the pieces from Broad Street in an online video sampler from the issue.
