Hi Vincent, you have such an impressive collection of Afghanistan pictures - some touching and some a joy to look at. Thanks for sharing.

Kathi		19-Jan-2006 18:42
These pictures are beautiful. The hope that can be seen in the eyes of the children. The country is coming alive. I am thousands of miles away but feel as though I am a part of this beautiful country. Someone very dear to me (Andy) has been living in Kabul since November, 2003, helping to rebuild and reconstruct the roads and bridges. I miss him very much but looking at these pictures gives me reassurance that what he is doing to rebuild Afghanistan is the right thing. Peace and love to all.

Amazing gallery. Superb work

These photos are great. I am living in Kabul and these photos show a true photo of the city.

Ahmed R. Shah		08-Nov-2005 03:45
Excellent pictures, showing the beauty of diamonds in the rough. Hardy, resiliant, ever hopeful of a better future, the Afghans may be war-weary, but are always generous with whatever they may have, even if it only be a smile! Thank you for sharing your journey with us through your beautiful images.

anonymous		07-Sep-2004 07:06
I think the images are very powerful. i have viewed the images on www.rawa.org and found them to be quite disturbing in their graphics as were very powerful. Just a note to the almighty Karsten....learn how to spell!!! its actually not Talaban, its Taliban or an exception is Taleban....Sorry to downsize your EGO.

Diana		07-Sep-2004 00:07
I was very taken with the pictures. I am also very shocked at the violence and hatred that seems to wind it's way into these beautiful pictures by the comments that have been posted by namerican. How tragically sad for everyone. Instead of sputtering words of hate and condemnation how about doing something useful and finding a way to help these poverty stricken people. I actually came on this site to find out a little about what the Afghanistan people wear and what toys they use so that I can mail some items to my brother in law stationed near an orphanage in Afghanistan. He wrote of the need for items there and I did not want to insult the people by sending something they would be offended by. The pictures not only helped me with that problem but gave me new insight to the people. I want to thank you for that. I could never make it as a PJ as I would have too hard a time documenting their lives as I am a fix it person and would get lost in helping instead. But then again this just goes to show that you truly are helping aren't you?

Impressive pictures. http://community.webshots.com/user/mamei77

Karsten		26-Aug-2004 17:53
Beautiful pictures! I am surprised by all this Anti American posting! Do you people realize that the pictures wouldn't have been possible some years before? That you wouldn't have pictures of Girls in school? I can not honestly believe you guys think these people are worse off now then under the rule of the Talaban?! your hate for the US and it's tough stance on Terrorism clouds your judgement.

Yogish Lavanis		26-Aug-2004 13:31
Great pictures - they capture the human side of Afghan story Especially the one involving children. -Yogish, Bangalore, India

Wow......I wish to travel there one day. So much to shoot... Great pictures!!! John

Pedro Correia		15-Jun-2004 18:09
Thanks to share with us your pictures and comments about a different reality than our normal lives and stable world.

Guest		14-Jun-2004 10:08
Great stuff Vincent! These are the kind of images that I wish to capture one day too.

namerican		30-Mar-2004 02:56
thanks vincent, for letting us know of these kids - they're so beautiful; we north americans flatten the country with bombs, hoping to kill osama, and for it we quadruple the strife of these so very pretty, so so artfully beautiful children. -and the u.s.a. plus nato together, - with a usa op budget of 3 trillion dollars - can't find a couple of billion to at least feed these children and rebuild some infrastructure. i say the Afghan men go back to growing opium, then, and get those drugs to market in the u.s.a. REAL SOON!!! thanks, Vincent, for showing us what the Pentagon wishes you hadn't - mission accomplished.

Mike		27-Feb-2004 18:52
Beautiful pictures. I truly hope things improve for this country.

Vincent: Thanks very much for sharing these. If you would, please contact me at keithdolge2002@yahoo.com. I'm very interested in going to Afghanistan and would like to know how you went about it, things to watch out for, etc. You can see my images here on Pbase. Check out the B&W stuff and you'll have a good idea of what I'm about. Thanks again! Keith Dolge

What does it matter		12-Dec-2003 22:51

Sherpalito		12-Dec-2003 22:30
Amazing photo's Vincent !!!! First class. Thanks very much for sharing. Besides the excellent quality of the pics, your selection gives an insight in daily life of current Afghanistan. Must be a difficult job in an amazing country. Thanks again for sharing & Good Luck Steven

Bob		11-Dec-2003 18:44
Visceral photos of the land that time forgot: it looks the same as it did when I spent time there in 1968. I suspect it won't change much because of the tribalism. Funny place: the majority of the people are friendly and give you tea, but there is always some wacco with a gun. Take care.

monique jansen		10-Dec-2003 22:21
Let's forget about previous moronic comment.. your pictures really capture every day life and emotions in Afghanistan - a country rarely photographed in recent years. Congrats and keep it happening.

Mohhamed Abdul		10-Dec-2003 11:19
Help me I want to wear american clothes. I want to listen to rock and roll. Life really sucks here in afganistan. I want to listen to britney spears and dance hip hop. Afganistan is a boring place for a teenager to grow up in. Thank You nice americans for freeing my country. Now all we need is to get our women to dress like paris hilton !

daoud jabarkhail		07-Dec-2003 13:09
touching but hopefull pictures

Guest		03-Dec-2003 21:59
Beautiful images of beautiful people and places. Keep shooting, sort the hatred out later. kafe

Vincent, Very good series that captured a lot of the things that afghans go through every day. Hope to see more of your work again. Well done. Jimmy

Matias Asun		24-Nov-2003 14:22
Gracias por estas im�genes. Adem�s de la National Geographic nadie m�s se volvi� a interesar por Afganistan. El negocio de Irak dej� atr�s el negocio en Kabul. Ni siquiera import� el que faltaran tres cuartos del dinero prometido para reconstruirlo. Mis lamentos por aquellos que han dejado huerfanos y hombre sufriendo, mismos que en algunos a�os tendran los medios para volver a atacar. Gringos torpes; �no ven que su agresi�n y su irracionalismo s�lo va a causar que sufran sus propias familias?... No importa cuantas bombas nucleares les tiren encima, a la larga alguna explotar� en la esquina de sus casas si continuan haciendo lo que han hecho. Saludos a todos

Paul Teixeira		23-Nov-2003 22:33
Very nice series Vincent. You're a credit to the PJ.

Guest		22-Nov-2003 08:48
A stunning and moving gallery. Thank you.

Sheila Smart		17-Nov-2003 09:14
What can I say, Vincent? These are brilliant images of a troubled country which the West has yet again abandoned and which it will do so again in Iraq! I stayed in a hotel in Kabul and a group of us Aussies were given chips (french fries) by the cook in the "hotel". Oh what joy, western food after nan, chello kebabs etc. The next night, no cook. We asked the manager "where is the cook tonight" - he said, "oh, he's in hospital with hepatitis"! Gulp! But what memories I have of this country and its tough and resiliant people. Cheers Sheila

Guest		14-Nov-2003 21:36
Just brilliant work. An outstanding set of images by any estimate. These are photos to be very proud of.

Inspirational photography- right up there with this month's National Geographic article on Kabul. Steve

Guest		06-Nov-2003 16:38
Some of these images are absolutely stunning. You have an amazing eye for both composition and colour. I particularly love your rendition of the pastel shades in 'burkha' and 'ramadan' - breathtaking!

Beautiful pictures that capture the life of the people in Kabul.

Clayton Esterson		24-Oct-2003 17:08
Thanks for the wonderful gallery of pictures with descriptive text and stunning composition. It is interesting to compare life in Kabul now and how it appears in my gallery from 1968.

Jan		22-Oct-2003 18:13
These are by far the best pics of Afghanistan I've ever seen !!

Michael Tan		06-Sep-2003 05:06
Great photojournalist pictures.Going through your pictures of Kabul is like being there. In fact much more. No ordinary tour can bring you to such places which I have no doubt are exclusive only to press photographers. Thanks for bringing us there, Vincent.
