I traveled for a month to get this photo of two nomadic Kutchi men showing off their horsemanship in Afghanistan. In August 2001, I had an invitation to meet the anti-Taliban commander Ahmed Shah Massoud. To reach him, I attempted to be smuggled through a Pakistani no-man's-land, wearing a burka, without success. Then I took a UN flight to Tajikistan, where one of Massoud's helicopters met me. While waiting for him, a commander allowed me to visit this Kutchi camp. It was three weeks before September 11.
