Photographer’s Note
This photo was taken in Peshawar June 2004. It was shot in low light at a guesthouse I was staying at. I almost forgot about it until I posted another shot from Pakistan. AbdullahCharsee commented on it saying he knew one of the guys in the photo. I thought he would like to see this photo as well since it is him.

Hey Ben,
it was fun today shooting with ya. If you are free tomorrow, lets do something again. Another place though.
Cool shot. Very documentative. A bit blurry but it has a cool atmosphere. This is a strange one actually, the friendly look on his face and the Ak-47 in his hand just dont really go together.

The benign expression on the man's face contrasts sharply with the weapon in his hands. With his half-closed eyes, he lookes sleepy or high. Using the unsharp mask at 40% clears up some of the fuzziness.

Hi Benjamin,
This is a nice cultrual shot. The gun here appears to be an AK-47...pretty much everyone in Peshawar owns one. The smile on his face looks pretty deceiving.
regards, Raza
