Kabul is a city of hustle and bustle, a characteristic even more pronounced by its few paved roads and absence of traffic lanes, intersections, and traffic lights. Livestock including sheep, goats, and camels casually weave in and out of traffic, and by traffic, I mean fleets of old Toyota Corolla sedans converted to taxicabs, driven by young men in jeans, who talk on cell phones. It is a cacophony of tradition and modernity. The jeans and cell phones are in direct contrast to the older men wearing traditional Afghan attire (shalwar kameez) and turbans, or jeweled caps. The taxi drivers (young and old, traditional and modern) would usually be chatting with our guide in Dari, while listening to Afghan love songs on the radio.

My wife and I came across these dudes on our way to a nearby state park near Dunnellon, Fla. It really brought back memories for me. I remember skipping class to skate for hours with my buddies Pete and Phil. I’d take pictures of them doing tricks, and then we’d pool our money together and get a giant Gatorade to share. We would sit outside, backs against the wall, watching all the people go by, and imagining what our futures would hold. Phil is a doctor now in Maryland. Pete is a software technician in New York. I’m still taking pictures and skateboarding in Florida. LC No. 60 By Lance Aram Rothstein jpgmag.com/photos/708436
