TalibanThe Self Assigned Photographer
Taliban
by Thomas Dworzak

These portraits of Taliban soldiers were collected by Thomas Dworzak during his coverage of the fall of the Taliban regime in 2002. It is thought that most of these pictures are from Taliban members who had them taken in early November 2001, but could not pick them up as they had to flee the advancing opposition and United States' bombing.

The Self Assigned Photographer
by Dennis Stock

"I have been privileged to view much of life through my cameras, making the journey an enlightened experience. My emphasis has mainly been on affirmative reactions to human behavior and a strong attraction to the beauty in nature." -Dennis Stock

by Eve Arnold

Jean GaumyQuote of the Week
Taking pictures is like fishing or writing. It's getting out of the unknown that which resists and refuses to come to light.
