His Camera is 100 Years Old (He Took My Portrait)

We met Haji in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he used his more-than-100-year-old box camera to take our portrait through a fascinating manual process. We visited a local camera store to process the photograph, then went to Haji’s home for tea and saw his collection of vintage cameras. We learned about his lifelong photography career, his views on modern technology, and his hope for peace and security in Afghanistan.
