Kabul

Some days ago Abdallah Abdallah announced his decision of pulling out from the second round of the presidential elections. So the circus of reporter, photographers and camera guys gathered at his mansion for a press conference.

The good think about this usually really boring and not-so-photogenic event was meeting Larry. Larry Towel is one of the most intense photographers I know. His work is simple, straight to the point, but also lyrics and imaginative as a child drawing can be.

Larry doesn’t give a shit about publishing, ha makes books, he came to Afghanistan with his own money and he just shoot film (his represented by Magnum Photos and you can find everything on their website).

In this awful environment of news makers, producers of news that last one hour I was really glad to meet an artist.

Larry is the photographer most of us would like to be.
