The Staff

This is us with the entire staff of the agency. We took this picture because one of the guys, Faiz Ali was leaving for Canada. It is taken in our studio.

Some boys playing football just next to the Qasr-e-Darulaman castle.
On the other side of the street there is a big ISAF base (International Security Assistance Force). ISAF is led by NATO and was established by the UN in 2001.

Qasr-e-Darulaman


The king Mohammed Zahir Shah used to live in this castle before it was destroyed during the civil war. We took a walk together with Marie Louise (a danish friend) around the castle some weeks ago. I tried to take some pictures of the scenery when almost immediately a armed guard showed up and angrily asked us to leave. Anyway, here are the pictures we managed to save. We think that give a good idea of how violent were the fights between the different factions during the war.

Our garden


This is our garden and our guard Aziz. He is there during the day to take care of the house and let people in when we have guests coming over.


Some boys we met on the street.

This small shop in the street is where we buy our fruits and vegetables.
