Presenting Photogapher
At the moment I am in Pakistan working for the UN,
photographing the camps and preparing to go into
Afghanistan again. I have two new, long photo essays
on my web site, and you would probably agree with much
of what I have to say. For example:
The deminers know that they must put men on the ground
in order to get the job done. The mechanical aids,
transport systems, and explosives charges are all
secondary. In the end they must risk the lives of a few
good men in order to save those of women and children,
old men and animals. Those who make war by bombing
weaker nations from airplanes, do the reverse. They
risk the lives of the innocent in order to save the
lives of their own soldiers.
Would you help me get the word out that I have these
two essays available. In many ways they are the
distilation of thirty years of working on Afghan
issues. The UN has helped me build my own site,
because they want to use it as a resource.
Land Mine Causality of
TalibanAfghanistan
During the years of the Afghan war with the Soviet Union, I circulated an exhibition called The Afghan Folio. This was a set of thirty-two color photographs done with a very difficult but fine printing method, the Dye Transfer process. I am not a war photographer, and I stayed away from Afghanistan during those years. However, in the spring of 2000 I had the time to make a trip to Central Asia, and I knew that the Taliban government controlled ninety percent of the country. I began to inquire about a return to Afghanistan, which I had not visited since 1978.

Special
comments for the autumn of 2001: During the year 2000 I spent six months in Central Asia making photographs. From late August through October, I traveled throughout southern Afghanistan photographing minefields, effected communities, and minefield victims. In November I traveled into northern Afghanistan where I shot schools and IDP camps in Badakshan and the Panjsheer Valley. Under pressure from the United States, the United Nations and the Red Cross forbid US citizens who work for those organizations to go into Afghanistan. Had I been on staff with the UN and not a consultant working temporarily or paid by another NGO, I could not have gone there.
