Iraq is a centerpiece of global news, but rarely do you ever get to see what life is like for an ordinary person. Posts from iReporter Matuk, a contracted professional working in Baghdad, are giving us this uncommon perspective.

Matuk's videos are moving portraits of a city in transition. Through his eyes, we have experienced being able to look outside your window and see the effects of a war going on. This is something you can't see on the news wires and a testament to the power of citizen journalism. His uploads have become a diary of daily life in Baghdad. What do you think? What questions would you like to ask Matuk?
