While wandering the streets of Kabul, Afghanistan the other day, I came across an old man named Haji, who is the last remaining person in the country (and likely the world) who still uses this ancient box camera to take portraits! This vintage device is over 100 years old and it was just FASCINATING to get my portrait taken -- it was like straight out of a movie!

Here is the full story of Haji and his mind-blowing box camera, which he uses not only as a hobby but as a profession. I think this photo is the best souvenir in my life!

The last time I went to visit my grand mother, she gave me that 100 year old camera which use to belong to my grand father.

KABUL: Historical OLD Camera Takes My Photo

I Met Haji Meerzaman in Kabul who is an Afghan photographer who continues to use a 100-year-old homemade wooden box camera.

The photos come out as negatives and have to be inverted for the true image to show up.

The boxes were made by local carpenters, but the lenses were imported.

The Taliban, who ruled first time Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 and forbade images of people, but allowed to take official photos with his box camera. Since their return to power 2 years ago the Islamists have made no public declaration on taking pictures but young fighters are frequently seen snapping photos of each other, or selfies, with their mobile phones. And in general they are more moderate now than before.

Haji has taught all four of his sons photography, but none now uses box cameras. So this will unfortunately soon be a thing of the past.
Therefore I was so happy to have been able to witness it myself especially in a place like Afghanistan where you also feel your back in time. So the picture was one of the best souvenirs that I ever received ????????????
