views on Afghanistan

[Claudia Westermann]

Hi you all,

three different 'outside' views on Afghanistan. Thought them interesting to 
read.

The third one actually does not provide so much text, more images.
There are some more 'photo-essays' in this magazine. I am a bit suspicious 
regarding the role of the camera in the situation the photograph was taken.
Not so sure if these essays really primarily provide information or 
something else.
Well, you can judge yourself.

greetings
have a nice evening
