Description
Haji Mirzaman was just a teenager when he started taking photos using a homemade wooden box camera in his cousin's studio in downtown Kabul. He took black-and-white portraits of people for passports, identity cards and other documents using his "magic box" on a sidewalk, producing prints in a couple of minutes.
Now in his 70s, he says the kamra-e-faoree -- or "instant camera" -- has survived wars, invasions and a Taliban ban on photography, but is now in danger of disappearing because of digital technology. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
