Library of Current Scenes from the Deserts, Towns and Cities Include Portraits, Shrines, Landscapes, Stores, Houses, and Commerce from Herat and Kabul.

Jay Buckner, principal of Buckner Creative, a consulting business providing strategic and creative marketing services to government organizations and technology companies, is making available a library of recent photographic images depicting the life, land, and people of Afghanistan. The collection is available on the Web at: www.bucknercreative.com.

From August through November 2007, Buckner captured images of the life and landscape surrounding him, from treeless, war-torn Kabul to the beautiful city of Heart, which is now in the process of rebuilding after decades of occupation by Russian and Taliban forces.

The warmth, traditional hospitality, and unique resilience of the vibrant Afghan people are portrayed in images from the streets, shops, shrines and incredibly beautiful, stark land, where almost all of the water is hidden in the ground waiting to be tapped and brought to the surface.

The digital thumbnail images are available in high resolution, suitable to be enlarged for framing, and for use by private individuals as well as for pictorial accompaniments appropriate for insertion into articles, reports, literature, brochures, and advertising. The archive is targeted towards government agencies and commercial business working on projects in Afghanistan, in addition to subcontractor organizations, NGOs, private collectors, etc.

Until 2003, Jay Buckner held senior marketing positions in a number of the major computing companies in Silicon Valley, including Acer and NEC. He relocated to the east to be closer to family and to take advantage of the quality of life to be found in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
