entry description
In spring 2019 I went to Afghanistan to visit the country for Persian New Year which I also want to cover in my upcoming book about the silk road. I went to Mazar-i-Sharif in the North of Afghanistan and also went for the traditional Buzkashi game. The goal is, to catch a goat and lay it down into a ring. About 50-100 guys on horses are attending the game including live music and this was really impressive. All the shots are made on film. I used a Leica M4-2 and M4-P camera and Ilford FP4+ film.back to gallery
