    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!

    Drew you are a gem. Thanks for showing the good nature of humanity - especially in a place where they have not seen true peace for a long time. 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.

      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

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.

      Well, you have to take into consideration that CCTV cameras are made to last and record 24/7 every day without any problem at the cheapest, also the aspect ratio of this camera is way bigger than a video CCD or CMOS sensor.

    This is reminding me of how Camera was invented and teached me a lot how camera works.
    Fun Fact Camera is originally from Arabic Word (Komra) which mean the dark room and was invented by the scientist Ibn Alhaithem. this huge box is considered as the dark room here.

    • @johnsmith-oo9tl

      Hazaras are basically a Turco Mongol / iranic ( indeginous afghans ) mix , the photographer in the video is most likely one . Uzbeks and turkmens are Turkic . These three groups resemble each other . The pashtuns , Tajiks , nuristanis , pashayis , wakhis and pamiris are for the most part Caucasoid looking . They all look similar .

      No offence but your parents were part of the problem. The Taliban were created, armed, funded and trained by the US government and now the same government claims to fight them. Surely you can see that it was all a ploy to steal Afghanistan's natural resources e.g. oil and gas? The US has killed over a million civilians there so far, not to mention the fact that the Taliban almost exclusively kill Muslims. It's a sad state of affairs...

I'm sure your parents are great kind-hearted people, no matter what they may have been compelled to do by their superior officers. The fact that you care about the wellbeing of Afghans is proof that your parents raised you well 🙂
