Short skirts, flashy cars, no burkas: Before Afghanistan plunged into hell

“The idyllic images were captured in 1967, when the teacher teemed up with Unesco to work in the Higher Teachers College of Kabul.  As well as building a relationship with the Afghans he encountered, the amateur photographer set out to document their way of life.  Serene images include men relaxing outside with a picnic, boys playing in the Kabul river in the sun and girls smiling during lessons.  Others show colourful marketplaces, gardens alive with colourful flowers and even a giggling boy decorating cakes.  While many feature happy Afghans, there are many of the Podlich family peacefully enjoying their time living in the country.”
