Simply Afghanistan ♥ Просто Афганистан

PreviousNext

I read a book today. Actually it was a very sad book about the life in Afghanistan. It is called  “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini and it is about the suffering of the ordinary people in the small ordinary country while the big one is playing war, peace and democracy games.

But this blog is not about the ugly part of life, it is about the things that bring colors in our life and inspire us. Like the photo session by the great photographer Francine Zaslow, whose work I have mentioned before too. I just remembered it immediately when I turned the last page of the book. This photo session is called “Afghani”. 

Прочетох днес книга. Всъщност доста тъжна книга за живота в Афганистан. “A Thousand Splednid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini. За това как обикновените хора в малките държави страдат, докато големите си играят на война, мир и демокрация. Но всъщност този блог не е за тъжни неща, а за такива каквито вдъхновяват. Като фотосесията заснета от изключителната фотографка Francine Zaslow, за която сме си говорили и преди. Спомних си за тази фотосесия, веднага щом затворих последната корица на книгата. Фотосесията се казва “Afghani”.

    Centuries of history and culture all being squandered over (petty?) differences….I wish more people would spend their energies creating beauty rather than destroying things. Here's hoping for peace.

    These photographs are lovely.

    Great post, Radostina. I believe Afghanistan deserves far more respect to its culture history than we get from the news coverage! Btw – love your blog!

Few analog images from a day trip with a boat to Few analog  images from a day trip with a boat to Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay. This is the second largest island in the Bay and has many stories to tell. Most of them - probably not so happy. The island was used as an immigration station where officials detained, inspected and examined approximately one million immigrants. Many people primarily from Asia, have to spend here months waiting for the heir immigration status.
