Fruit stand, Kabul, fall of 1974. When I travelled to Afghanistan I had in my mind a photo I had seen in the National Geographic magazine with a shop just like this one. I took "my" photo of "THE NatGeo shop" to find out later that the one depicted in the magazine was across the street.

found a few old pics from the Afghanistan days - not all great but will post them anyway, some may find them interesting.
this is a composite of two shots - no wide angle lens then! the road winding through the Kabul gorge is a feat of engineering.

Dans les rues de tout l'orient on trouve tous les petits métiers accessibles sans rendez-vous. Ici un barbier. J'ai toujours aimé photographier les barbiers de ces villes où ils préféraient travailler en plein air, malgré le bruit et la poussière. Déjà à cette époque ( 1975 ) celui-là rasait plus de crânes que de barbes. Ce qui est le cas sur cette photo. Signe annonciateur d'un futur plus sombre ? L 'avènement des barbus. Ce que je regrette pour cette photo c'est que la couleur n'est pas terrible et le fond ans intérêt mais que voulez-vous, on n'a pas toujours le choix.
Kabul 1974. You could see caravans as they arrived in town. This was in the outskirts of Kabul. The pavement of some of the roads was surprisingly excellent - built by the Soviets or the Germans, I am not sure which.

Also known as Minar-e Elm wa Jahil monument, near the Kabul Zoo, 1974. The Old Wall in the background. Honeywell rangefinder 35mm camera, fixed 38mm lens, Kodak Kodacolor II (I think). Print scan with HP ScanJet 3770.
E non smette di inghiottire vite la forza del fuoco.
Un circolo che ti trascina via senza più ritorno.
E io ho sempre paura di leggere e di sapere.
Ho paura che quel vortice ti porti via, per sempre.
Noi siamo Esseri di VIta.
Di vita.
Central district in Urumqi. Trash dump that emerged in place of some torn-down buildings. Looks a little bit like Kabul, isn't it?
Taliban commander Qasi Ali (centre, white shalwar) with his men in the former Afghan National Police Academy in Kabul, August 24, 2021. The hats on the table had were gifts from Britsih and Australian mentors. Qasi Ali insisted his men had not looted the building and was at pains to point out the hats had not been touched, the CCTV was still working and he had called the camp's civilian staff, including cooks and electricians to come back to work. 210826-L1001251-Afghanistan

The oven maker's lane in Kabul, where the bread kilns are baked. A rare bit of old-style architectire that hasn't been destroyed by fighting or bulldozed by developers to make way for shopping malls and glitzy wedding halls. The manufacturers said it took them a couple of days to make a bread oven. Kooche Tandoor Sazeh. Oct 18, 2018.
