Jamrud, Pakistan 1980

Ed Grazda's 1980 black and white photograph, "Jamrud, Pakistan", depicts a street scene with a man carrying an AK-47 rifle. The composition focuses on the figure in the foreground, shrouded in a white robe, their face obscured. This central figure stands in contrast to others in the background, highlighting the presence of the weapon and creating a sense of unease. Grazda's work often explored social and political issues in his photographs, making "Jamrud, Pakistan" a powerful testament to his artistic vision. The image measures 26.5 × 39.5 cm (10 7/16 × 15 9/16 in.) and was captured on a sheet measuring 35.56 × 43.18 cm (14 × 17 in.).
