23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Live, Enjoy, Die
In Kabul, on the edge of a cemetery that holds the stories of people and this country's troubled past, life continues to reclaim its space. Children scream happily from a hand-operated carousel, others laugh around a rickety foosball table. Fragments of joy and vitality nestled in an evocative place, bringing out the simplest and most universal essence of existence: live, enjoy, die.
