Welcome to Luke Powell Photographs
It is important for those living in the industrial world to develop an appreciation for cultures that are sustainable, to learn to see beauty and survival in a world where people walk, live in daily contact with animals, raise their own food, pray, and live in families. Such people have as much to teach us as we have to teach them.

 Once you go to any chapter, to any page beyond this one, you are on a server at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and all of the web site there is a public service with no commercial content or links to commercial pages. I do sell prints, dye transfer prints of images from the 1970s and now inkjet prints of most other images on the web site. This is the only link to the sales pages that are on a private server: SALES This site is now hosted by the University of Nebraska at Omaha. They have the world's largest library on Afghanistan and are a major academic resource on Central Asia. Students and teachers may use these pictures and their digital files for school reports or presentations without prior approval, but it is nice to hear from you. Larger scans of these images are available. Commercial use will be considered on a case by case basis. I will always provide images to aid organizations that were active in Afghanistan before the American invasion and occupation, groups such as the ICRC, MSF, IAM, and Demining programs, but other aid organizations will be considered on a case by case basis as well. I have spent my entire career trying to remain neutral in the political affairs of Afghanistan. I do not support this occupation, much as I would not have supported to occupation of Poland or Ethiopia, Algeria, or Vietnam, but I also do not oppose it openly in public, because I do not wish to openly undermine Mr. Karzai or any Afghans who believe this to be the best way for Afghanistan. I remain remote from the present conflict, in order to maintain my neutrality in Afghan affairs. When writing to me seeking image files, please cut and paste the entire urls onto your list.
