Woman holding photo of murdered husband <br /> Bamiyan, Afghanistan 2007.<br /> Because of the death of her husband, this woman now lives with her sister, shown in the mirror, and is beholden to her sister’s husband. As I moved around the cities and countryside women threw their burkas over my head. Ensconced in our secret tents they would kiss me three times on my cheeks and thank me for me for coming. I was often invited back in their homes where we would share a cup of cardamom tea.

Woman holding photo of murdered husband
Bamiyan, Afghanistan 2007.
Because of the death of her husband, this woman now lives with her sister, shown in the mirror, and is beholden to her sister’s husband. As I moved around the cities and countryside women threw their burkas over my head. Ensconced in our secret tents they would kiss me three times on my cheeks and thank me for me for coming. I was often invited back in their homes where we would share a cup of cardamom tea.
