Literature

“Most of my photos are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face.” ~ Steve McCurry Haunting does not do justice to the power of this image. I think this is one of Steve’s greatest portraits to date.This young child has fled the civil war in Afghanistan and was living in Pakistan when McCurry took this picture. The delicate emerald shawl, her rich blue eyes and serene gaze all evoke a deep sense of the spiritual.
