Summary:

Two years after U.S. troops left, AP photojournalist Rodrigo Abd (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1976, lives and works in Peru) returned to Afghanistan with an idea: to use an old-style Afghan box camera to document how life is in this war-scarred territory, from Herat in the west and Kandahar in the south to Kabul in the east and Bamiyan in the center. Simple, cheap and portable, the local "kamra-e-faoree", was the instant camera he used to produce the hundreds of black-and-white prints that reveal a complex, sometimes contradictory narrative. "Las fotografías que componen este libro fueron realizadas con una cámara minutera en Kabul durante el año 2006." --Last page.
