About Us

Disposable Words is an experiment in independent foreign correspondence, photojournalism, and political commentary. Now in its fifth year, the site also publishes regular international dispatches that focus on a particular region or issue through on-the-ground reporting and photography.

Upcoming projects include Ransomed Futures, a look at Canada’s changing role in Afghanistan as the NATO-led war enters its second decade, and The Strongman Always Rings Twice, which builds through images and words a picture of Russia perched on the edge of a precipice on the eve of its federal election.
