The cars with blown-out windscreens stood out, as did the demolished shopfronts. Things like this led photojournalist Andrew Quilty closer and closer to the heart of ground zero in Kabul, where a bomb had been detonated, following the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban.

Quilty is the focus of a feature story in this Saturday’s Good Weekend — “As the Taliban advanced on Kabul, Andrew Quilty landed at its airport” — and the award-winning photographer is joined in conversation by the author of that piece, Good Weekend senior writer Tim Elliott, for a chat about life in that country before, during and after the withdrawal of US troops in 2021.
