36 years later & my documentary-making trip to #Pakistan remains controversial. One of the crew sent a cache of photos recently. Here's one w/me & NWFP Chief Forest Officer Mumtaz Malik (seated/center) on the Indus River. Many folks who know me do not know of my young adventures.

More from the recently uncovered cache of Boll collection photos from our mid-80s documentary trip to Pakistan. Here, I am with Academy Award-nominated sound tech Tom Naunas (left) and our guide at Taxila, an ancient Buddhist settlement. We play tourists for a day. #Pakistan

At the time, Taxila had been named a UN World Heritage site only about five years previous to our trip and was fairly uncovered and undeveloped. Now, apparently it is one of the top tourist destinations in #Pakistan .

Should have thought to process and include this photo of Taxila yesterday. This will give some idea of the scale of the ruins although this is just one section. Guessing they have exposed and restored that mound too by now. #Pakistan

Posting some newly unearthed black & whites from this trip, these from a day when sound recordist Tom Naunas was ill. So that's me with shotgun microphone & Nagra, next to NWFP Chief Forest Officer Mumtaz Malik. Find me in flannel kneeling in the group shot. #Pakistan

This sequence shows our interview with General Fazle Haq, military governor of the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP), now the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province in Pakistan. This was a key interview for the "Crane Hunters of Pakistan" film. (Details in text descriptions.) #Pakistan

Separate posting for this photo from the interview w/Gen. Fazle Haq, then military governor of the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP) in Pakistan because it shows Tom Naunas properly placing & hiding a microphone. Plus, it proves I once had a full head of hair! #Pakistan

Posting one more shot in this batch of photos, a behind-the-scenes photo of photographer Frank Boll shooting part of one of the iconic sequences from the "Crane Hunters of Pakistan" film. (Of course Frank was not in the shot used but the hunter was.) #Pakistan

A quick postscript now because it is uncertain when this thread will be revived. Likely U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Consultant Steve Landfried was not only the one who snapped this photo but who provided the important second camera view for the sequence in the original film.
