Written by: Hasamuddin Hamdard

The writer\producer of AEPO has talked to A hmad Shah Faqiri, a mobile photographer, resident of Kabul city.

He replies to a question:

“Before I was a singer, but preparing video clips needed more money, I preferred to change my profession and started photography. Since I did not have any shop, I started my work as a mobile photographer. I have been working as a mobile photographer for 18 years and earn about Afs 8-10 thousand per month. I also print pictures from mobile phone, memory cards and cameras.”

Why some small businessmen fail?

Tariq is another man who had a shop in Kabul but he failed in his work. He and his brother were working together in the shop.  He says that half day he was in the shop and half day his brother was but his brother was not paying attention to his work, therefore, most of the items in the shop expired and they ought to close the shop.

Jamal is another shop keeper of Kabul city. He sells fresh fruits and knows better what kind of fruits is most wanted.

He purchases fruits from whole sellers and get less benefit than the other shop keeper, who purchase fruits from the retailers.
