Description of Pictures: An Evening with Afghan Ambassador to the United States Said T. Jawad and Mrs. Shamim Jawad:
This summer, Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from the National Museum, Kabul will enchant visitors to the National Gallery of Art with visions of antiquity never before seen in the U.S. As part of Washington, DC’s Silk Road Celebration, Sixth & I will host a thought-provoking conversation between Pulitzer-prize winning author Steve Coll, Afghanistan’s Ambassador to the U.S. Said Jawad and Mrs. Shamim Jawad. The evening’s discussion will encompass Afghanistan’s larger significance as an ancient civilization and culture, the conflicts at the heart of the region’s recent troubles and the evolving situation of women in the country.
Ambassador Said Jawad has been Afghanistan’s representative in Washington for the last several years. He returned to Afghanistan four months after 9/11 to assist in the country’s state-building process. He will be joined onstage by his wife Shamim, founder of the Ayenda Foundation, A Children’s Initiative, which is building an orphanage and learning center in Afghanistan’s Bamiyan Province.
Steve Coll has more than two decades' experience both in, and outside of, Afghanistan as a foreign correspondent and senior editor at The Washington Post, and currently serves as the President & CEO of New America Foundation. This event is co-sponsored with the Embassy of Afghanistan.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

  - 2018_DC_NBF_Coll_180901 Natl Book Festival 2018 -- Steve Coll
2008 photos: Trips this year: (1) Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Springfield, Missouri , (2) a week in New York, (3) a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con, (4) a driving trip to St. Louis, and (5) a visit to dad and Dixie's in Asheville, North Carolina. Ego strokes: A picture I'd taken last year during a Friends of the Homeless event was published in USA Today with a photo credit and everything! I became a volunteer photographer with the AFI/Silver theater. Equipment this year: I was using three cameras -- the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Rebel Xti from last year, and a new camera, the Fuji S100fs. The first two cameras had their pluses and minuses and I really didn't have a single camera that I thought I could use for just about everything. But I loved the S100fs and used it almost exclusively this year. Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
