Caption:  A man has his photograph taken in front of Kabul Security Headquarters. The box camera - perhaps one of the most primitive types of camera - is very common in Afghanistan. During the Taliban era, only portrait photos were permitted, so box cameras were widely used.

 

 

Critique:  This picture shows a man in Taliban getting his picture taken.  They use different cameras then us known as box cameras.  This picture shows that the people there are living in poverty. I like how the photographer took the picture behind the other photographer because if the photographer would have taken the picture sideways it wouldn't be as effective.  This picture is also all in focus meaning that the photographer wanted to show us not just the CVI but it's surroundings also.
