This summer, the ever talented Lorenzo Tugnoli photographed me for Zarif Design's newest collection. I was super sick that day, but it was fun nonetheless! The shoot took place at Le Jardin, a beautiful French restaurant in Kabul, and on the ground of Murad Khani, in the old city of Kabul. Both locations were stunning, and provided a great backdrop for Zolaykha's new work. If there is anything you see that you like, you can place orders for Zarif through their website!              The Little Book of Kabul has been a not-so-little project in my life over the past few weeks. Two of the most talented people in my life, photographer Lorenzo Tugnoli and writer Francesca Recchia have set out on a remarkable mission. The Little Book of Kabul looks at the wold of art and creativity in Kabul and the important role it is playing in shaping the future of the city. The book will profile five instrumental individuals in the music, art, media and design world, and through snippets of their story, will tell the story of many others.  Francesca and Lorenzo The project is very close to my heart, as last year I connected the two of them when Francesca told me, over a cup of coffee in London, that she wanted to come to Afghanistan. It was a match made in heaven, they instantly hit it off and set to work on a article together called Creative Kabul for Domus magazine. Since then, they've been talking about how much more there is to tell and finally this year decided to make a book. What makes this project so special is their approach. Lorenzo, an art photographer at heart, has a slow and deliberate approach to his work, always looking for the art and perfectly beautiful proportions. Francesca has spent the past 9 years working on the concept of art and conflict, in Palestine, Iraq, Kashmir and now Afghanistan. So together they provide a unique insight that avoids the cliche that some coverage can have that focuses only on the war and less on the details of the remarkable individuals that exist here.

We have to raise $12,000 in the next 39 days - please show your support for the unique project! and you can see our blog here: http://littlebookofkabul.wordpress.com/ and we are on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/littlebookofkabul and Twitter: https://twitter.com/LBofK Peace one Day My colleagues and I at Moby were recently part of an exciting project, where we were asked by Peace One Day to produce video promoting all of the different activities that were taking place in Afghanistan for Peace One Day celebrations. Peace One Day is an initiative set up by Jude Law and Jeremy Gilly, to call people from all over the world to come together for the largest gathering in the name of peace ever seen in one day. Last Friday, on 21 September, International Peace Day, our video was aired into Wembley Stadium at a concert held there to celebrate the day. Special thanks to Sami Sadat, whom I have been working closely with on the 2012 peace campaign for the High Peace Council of Afghanistan. Enjoy! Snippets of Sicily and the end of a beautiful SummerI am back in Kabul now, and the summer seems to be slowly coming to an end, with the nip of winter in the evening air. I am well and truly a summer sun person, so the thought of another snowy winter here does not feel me with joy. The memories of my Sicilian summer linger, and I thought I'd share the last of my photos from that glorious island. 
Syracuse was a major power city in the Greek Empire, and to my surprise I found out also the birth place of the legendary Archimedes. The inner geek in me could not help but be excited by this! 
Scopello - what a great find! A tiny little town on the West of Sicily with crystal waters and cute little beaches. We stayed in a rustic converted fishing estate, with our very own private beach. Evening consisted of relaxed walks and meals of spaghetti a la vongole. Heaven.
