Artist's Comments

Father and son in Kabul, Afghanistan, 2002.

This is one of my own favourites. And even after all these years I am still undecided if it scares me more or if it carries a grain of hope. I'd like to go back to see how they both are doing. I can only hope they are well. But I am not sure.

I always wanted to submit a bw-version. Here it is. I hope you like it.

I understand what you mean, but on balance I still think it's terrifying. The original version was the pic that first drew you to my attention - and yes, it remains a favourite of mine too :)
