EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Mazar e Sharif, a vibrant Afghan town in the late 1970s. The image captures an exhilarating game of Buzkashi, the national sport of Afghanistan, which showcases both the equestrian skills and cultural heritage of its people. Intriguingly named "goat bashing". Buzkashi involves teams comprising more than a hundred skilled horsemen who fiercely compete to drag a goat carcass towards their goal. The intensity and excitement radiate from this snapshot as we witness these brave riders maneuvering through the chaos with determination and skill. The dusty streets are filled with energy as locals gather around to cheer on their favorite team. Horses gallop at full speed, hooves thundering against the ground while players expertly wield their whips to gain control over the coveted prize. This ancient tradition dates back centuries and serves as a testament to Afghanistan's rich history and love for horsemanship. John Smith's masterful composition beautifully encapsulates this momentous event in time. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only a thrilling sporting spectacle but also offers us a glimpse into Afghan culture during this era. As we admire this remarkable photograph, let it serve as a reminder of how sports can unite communities, transcend boundaries, and celebrate our shared humanity across continents.
