I corresponded with Luke Powell for several weeks 3 or 4 years ago... He sent me the link to hundreds of his photographs that were incredibly beautiful...
At the time, I was living in Boston.... he told me that his photographs were blacklisted because Israel did not want them shown, even though Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT) had 2 or 3 hanging in his office...
It was a pleasure to correspond with him, he was very truthful and he just wanted the world to see his photographs of the people of Afghanistan... but wherever he went, even to Canada, sooner or later, they would find out about him and drop him like a stone..
I am sorry that the world has not been able to see the full collection of his photographs, they were and still are the most spectacular I have ever seen.
