Afghanistan In 35mm

Amazing photo gallery by Luke Powell. National Geographic quality.
Paging through the photos from the 1970′s is surreal. It’s a journey back into the depths of time.

Nice photos.
He visits Jerusalem (he calls it: “el Quds (Jerusalem), Palestine”) and finds no Jews to photograph? Hmm.

What are real estate prices like in Afghanistan?

From the pre and post-Taliban pics, I’d say they’ve come down.

Jonathan,
haven’t seen the Jerusalem photos, but, as a wild guess, maybe he went there specifically to take photographs of Arabs?
Can’t we just enjoy the wonderful pictures?

Walter, I like the photos, I’m just wondering about Mr. Powell’s non-photographic agenda. Maybe I’m reading too much into irrelevant things, but I see no harm in asking the question. I suppose I could ask him directly instead of speculating about it.

obviously the man’s not a fan of jews.
he spends a lot of time in the pakistani part of kashmir, afghanistan, and jersulem which he calls el quds?
hope someone at the cia is keeping an eye on this dude…
