Darko's most recent work includes the drug trade in Afghanistan and several embeds with the Canadian and US military in Afghanistan and Bosnia - including several embedded tours with the US Army "hunting" the Taliban in the mountains of Eastern Afghanistan for the New York Times.

His passion for teaching and sharing his photography skills is shown through his natural talent for mentoring. He is a regular guest speaker and runs workshops at Loyalist College and in fall of 2005 presented at the international photojournalism conference in Toronto.
