In this photograph taken on October 13, 2021, Afghan photographer Haji Mirzaman (R) takes a portrait of a boy with his homemade wooden box camera known as a “kamra-e-faoree” on a sidewalk in Kabul. – Mirzaman was just a teenager when he started taking photos using a homemade wooden box camera in his cousin’s studio in downtown Kabul, but now in his 70s, he says the “kamra-e-faoree” — or “instant camera” as it is known in Dari — has survived wars, invasions and a Taliban ban on photography, but is now in danger of disappearing because of digital technology.
