Don't tell me who is Steve McCurry? Steve McCurry is a worlwide photojournalist who is most known for his photographs in the Middle east and Afghanistan during the Russian fighting against
the rebels , he was disguised in local dress so that he would take the photos that have compelled the world , McCurry's most recognized photo is that of "Afghan Girl," a previously unidentified Afghan refugee. The image itself was named as "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the National Geographic magazine and her face became famous as the cover photograph on the June 1985 issue. The photo has also been widely used on Amnesty International brochures, posters, and calendars. The identity of the "Afghan Girl" remained unknown for over 15 years until McCurry and a National Geographic team located the woman, Sharbat Gula, in 2002.
I was proud that I have the Chance to visit his Gallery that was Organized in Sharjah the City
Where I live at the moment , but I regret that I was not to see him in Person when he was
available for some workshops at the beginning of the show.
I have managed to take some of the photos as a souvenir but I have found that the photos are
available online in his gallery website at http:// www.stevemccurry.com so visit the site and feast your
eyes like what I did , and be Inspired maybe you'll be the next.
