“I have had the great privilege of photographing children all over the world and now that I have a child of my own, I have an even greater appreciation for their energy, curiosity and potential.Despite the hardships into which many children are born, they still have the ability to play, smile, laugh and share small moments of joy. There is always the possibility that a child could grow up and change the world.”~ Steve McCurry Fatherhood has come late in life for Steve, but I am so happy for him to have the opportunity to experience this profound and humbling state. I have had the honor to have worked closely with him for 35 plus years. He has shown us the humanity of children in the far corners of the world.Here in this abandoned shipyard, children have transformed this place of limited resources into their own special playground, a testament to their resilience. Where there is childhood, there is hope.This image along with many of Steve's iconic and some unseen images are on view in The World of Steve McCurry exhibition in the gallery now through the end of May, 2022. Open for viewing Tuesday - Saturday 11-5.
