Forgotten Afghanistan, the project that I have been photographing for the past three years,
seeks to tell stories of the continuing suffering of the Afghan people after the bombs and rockets have fallen. These photographs give a clear view into the lives of disabled Afghans. The people that I have photographed and interviewed are disabled victims from the war with the Soviets, 1979-1989, the Civil War, 1992-1996, and the war against the Taliban, 1996-2001.
