Whew! It was an amazing experience. I created a Flickr account to promote the work of the government Ministry initiative I supported as Communications Advisor. The photos are very different from what you see on the news about Afghanistan. Also, I've uploaded to my own web site a MS Powerpoint for staff on taking photos in the field I developed while in Afghanistan. I relied heavily on all staff, particular Afghan staff, no matter what their job titles, to take photos whenever possible at events and workshops and during project site visits. This is because many staff are prohibited from traveling to certain parts of Afghanistan; international staff are sometimes prohibited from leaving Kabul altogether. This presentation / training touches on both the kinds of photos needed and how to take photos in a culturally-sensitive manner. This presentation is focused on a specific program and a specific country (Afghanistan), but maybe by changing the photos and a bit of text, it could work for you? Enjoy.
