Portrait of an old afghan woman, Badakhshan province, Qazi deh, Afghanistan
One of the few safe area in Afghanistan , as talibans are 50km away. People are so happy to welcome foreigners, but they live a very hard life... i was surprised by the extrem poverty of those people, a great contrast with their incredible beauty.
People live in big houses, with lot of space, but all stay together in only one room that is used as kitchen and bedroom in winter time, to get maximum heat from the fire wood or animal dungs. The light comes from a hole in the roof, and gives a very strange atmosphere as everything is darken by the smoke for generations...
