In 1999, I photographed in remote areas of Croatia. Abandoned villages, bullet-ridden houses, turned over buses, burned-out tanks, bullet casings - an exciting and beautiful place to photograph. But the local folks confirmed my suspicion that there were a lot of undetected land mines left over from the war that ended only four years earlier. I always made sure I'd check the ground for every step, keeping on paved roads or solid rock.
