Title:

Kabul, Afghanistan: Before And After The Taliban
Caption: 398226 07: At a local photocopying shop run by a studio photographer, pictures of Taliban soldiers taken on their demand against a scenic backdrop are shown November 27, 2001 after the Taliban left Kabul, Afghanistan. The Taliban had prohibited full length photography of humans and only permitted ID photos necessary for passports or security ID passes. The shop owner said many Arabs would have their ID pictures taken in his shop and some would insist to be present in the darkroom to make sure no extra copies of their face would be made. The shopowner made more money photocopying documents for the Kabul University faculty departments than taking studio pictures. He continues to make large amounts of photocopies but of documents from houses where Arab, Chechen and Uzbek militants lived and rapidly fled leaving the piles of papers to journalists to sift through.
