I post this for two reasons: 1) A study in beautiful, seductive storytelling. 2) A study in how western media occludes America’s role in Afghanistan prior to 9.11.
Based on 14 trips to Afghanistan between 1994 and 2010, A Darkness Visible: Afghanistan is the work of photojournalist Seamus Murphy. His work chronicles a people caught time and again in political turmoil, struggling to find their way. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/a-darkness-visible-afghanistan
