Kamra-E-Faoree, Afghanistan's disappearing box cameras

Kamra-E-Faoree, Afghanistan's disappearing box cameras
Afghanistan is one of the last places in the world where photographers use an antiquated wooden instant camera called the Kamra-E-Faoree to make a living. This hand-made device has both camera and darkroom within one large contraption and generations of Afghans have had their portraits are taken with it, usually for identity or passport size photographs.
