Afghan with gun (and kisses)

Lovely photo (one of several) by Terry Glavin on a recent road trip north of Kabul:

A Day In The Countryside
...

We came upon this fierce looking bearded guy in a turban, carrying a long-barrelled shotgun. He was out hunting birds.

He walked up to me bold as a bullock and kissed me on both cheeks and introduced himself as Assan Ullah.

And a pleasant Salaam Aleikum to yourself as well, bubba, says I tae him...

Update thought: Nice jacket, call GQ.
