AFGHANISTAN, Mazar-E-Sharif. 2008. A child sleeps during an Afghan wedding party. His cousin joins the women cooking a midnight
meal. The wedding of Dost Mohammed Khairy was held in the courtyard of his uncle’s small
home in Mazar-e Sharif. Dost sang in a lilting baritone as family and friends danced, spinning
slowly to the fervent organ music played by Dost’s brother, Farshad.
