   Great photo ! Under the taliban rules, not even the feet could be seen,; some progress is going on...

   Impressive ethnic costume.
   Isn't she a supporter of the taliban?
   Indigo was used as one of the basic colors of the Japanese formal clothes in Edo period.

   Beautiful picture. I hope some day the womans in Afganistan could walk without those traditional costumes.
   This is so great shot.

    Wow...nice!

    Hey I like the blue...

    If you notice her Abaya is pretty nice...the bottom flairs up.

    Hmm...some people actually chose to dress that way so sometimes its not necessarily true to say they were forced.

    That's true... I'm reading a book that talks about these women having fun dressing up in their saris and chodars and feeling sexy and mysterious all covered up... It's very interesting. Madras on Rainy Days by Samina Ali, if anyone's curious. :)

    Hi Steve!
    Eight months ago we corresponded about using this image for a textbook. Well, the book is published and your photo is the last one that appears in the book, giving it a beautiful finish! I am so proud of that image and so thankful to you. I tried sending you a copy of the book but there seems to be a problem with your address. Could you email me at lindad@harlandavidson.com? I'll forward the email (alerting me to the problem) to you and maybe we can figure this out. I really want you to have a copy of this book! Linda
