These are some of the inspiring, delicate, intimate photographs by Seamus Murphy of Afghanistan included in his new book "A Darkness Visible: Afghanistan." I've already bought all the copies still available on Amazon.com tonight to send as gifts. Enjoy, and I will pontificate briefly at the end.
To me we are one people. One race. One species. Our core set of needs are the same. Our essential aspirations are likewise recognizable in spite of the barriers that separate us. I feel this idea in these pictures. I hope you do, too.
I was born on a bitterly cold end of January night in the year 1961. It was seven years to the day after the birth of Oprah Winfrey, and one year before the death of Robert Frost on that same day. Cool associations both.
I was the first child of older parents (my mother was 42). I love the color yellow. I am single, and fascinated with life.
