    While wandering the streets of Kabul, Afghanistan the other day, I came across an old man named Haji, who is the last remaining person in the country (and likely the world) who still uses this ancient box camera to take portraits! This vintage device is over 100 years old and it was just FASCINATING to get my portrait taken -- it was like straight out of a movie!
    Here is the full story of Haji and his mind-blowing box camera, which he uses not only as a hobby but as a profession. I think this photo is the best souvenir in my life!

      security cameras/CCTV have a different purpose than this camera
      analog box cameras are for long exposure portraits and landscapes, from this man to Ansel Adams
      CCTV is for 24/7 surveillance that can be played back in an instant, and often months or years worth of footage is saved, so the quality is often very low since the storage space necessary to store months of 24/7 video is terabytes upon terabytes of data

We, photographers are a community and it was great to see him keeping the flame burning in an environment which is so much different to ours. Apart from being amazed at his camera and skill, it was really touching to see his camera collection. I also have a Minolta SRT and it got close to home. Great stuff... thanks for your good work and good health to you always.

      Yes, it is basically the same language, but we often lack behind making new words for new discoveries, unlike Iran. They for example use the word “du charkha” meaning two wheels for bicycle, but we simply borrow the English word and call it bicycle. They say “rayana” in Iran, we use the word “computer”. It is because our country is at war and we don’t have a functioning a language council.

      Dari is from Indo-European language branch. We have a lot of similar words with European languages. Like we say “boradar” for brother, “dukhtar” for dather and “padar” for father.
