Farhad Warasta

• Biography: Farhad Warasta was first introduced to photography by his father, an Afghan immigrant whose business utilized commercial photography. Growing up in New York, Farhad developed a tradition of scanning Sunday newspapers for news of his father’s old country. Often this exercise was fruitless, eventually the internet gave consistent news, never good, and then in 2001 the flood gates opened. Farhad has traveled to several countries in Asia, North America, and Europe always with a camera. In 2004 he exhibited his first photo essay, about Japan. Currently Farhad is working to refocus American attention on the war in Afghanistan, in hopes that rebuilding will be revitalized and echo European reconstruction in the 1940s.
