Foraging through my hard drive last night, I was looking for some photos to send to a friend, I happened upon some of these photos from when i was in Pakistan in 1997.

afghan photographer - he's got an old 8×10 camera that he used more like a camera obscura. he took a photo with of my travelling partner using a piece of photo paper, developed and fixed it inside the camera hooding, then, since he now had a negative, he contact printed two small prints (they were about 2"x2") from the paper negative. I think she still has the negative, i have one of the positives still.

Polo!: close up and action - more missing teeth than a Canadian backwater county hockey league. A few helmets in this full contact (with 1,500 lb horses) sport - in the action shot our man is serving the ball after a goal.

kafiristan - the descendants of Alexander. the photo needs some work, some day i'll clean all this stuff up…
