Steve McCurry!


The world famous photographer Steve McCurry who took the iconic afghan girl photograph and has had his photos on the covers of multiple National Geographic issues, just probably the most famous documentary/journalistic or whatever type he is photographer ever was giving a talk at the Project Arts Centre in Temple Bar and he was excellent.
He took pictures of muslim women in cultures where he risked his life by doing so as well as in warzones, situations of severe poverty and even as the twin towers collapsed on 9/11 and yet he seems so matter of fact and nonchalant when he discusses his career.
