Portrait Of Zakirullah, Kabul, Afghanistan - Limited Edition of 1 Photograph

This is a single edition hand signed and captioned print. Only one print will be made at this larger 41 x 28 inch size, making this print unique. Zakirullah was the 9-year-old son of the liver monger in Shuur Market in Kabul. His father had been a member of the Mujahideen, and had fought during the civil war in Afghanistan. Now he has a stand making liver kebab in the market, which I can attest is quite tasty! Zakirullah's older brother is Nabiullah, who features prominently in the feature documentary we made about Afghanistan called Angels Are Made Of Light - available now on iTunes. Zaki was the kind of boy who followed his older brother everywhere and hated to be left out of whatever was happening. We filmed him many times at school and in his neighborhood mosque, but that material was cut from our final edit of the documentary. Zakirullah's childhood is best immortalized in this single photo, probably the only good photograph he has of himself at this age. To me, Zakirullah's face is archetypal of a kind of rough and tumble childhood that still exists in places like Afghanistan. I have made this a single edition print at the larger size. Some portrait prints should exist only in one place, like a painting. For those who like the image but cannot afford a single edition print, I have also made this image available as an open edition. Open edition prints have a finely-printed caption and attribution under the image. This single-edition over-size print is signed, unmounted. This image is a unique print at this scale: 41 x 28 inches This size includes a 2-inch white border (3-inches on the bottom edge.) There will be only one like this.
