French artist Landry Dunand bought his large camera obscura while living in Kabul, from 2006-8. This was the camera used by Afghan street photographers to take ID photos that Afghans needed for official documents.

Now based in Bangkok, Landry will have a pop-up traditional Afghan photo booth at the library at the biannual Neilson Hays Library book sale on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 12-13.

Visitors are invited to have their camera obscura portraits taken in the library's garden. To see his Afghan camera photos, click on http://landrydunand.com/afghancamera
