The eyes of the beholder

Show you the site I discovered yesterday. Site owner, Steve Mc Curry- an American photojournalist with his famous photograph “Afgan girl” appeared in cover of Natgeo 1985.

Yesterday I discovered his site. To my first impression: lively, down to earth and breaktaking are what I felt about McCurry pictures, and of course much more!

Not so many pictures that can leave me such an intrigued feeling like that. The pictures tell the story.

Every one of us needs a home. The world needs a home.
There are so many young people who are homeless.
They have building to live in, but they are homeless in their hearts.
that is why the most important practice
of our time is to give each person a home.
