Afghan Girl (Sharbat Gula)

I enjoyed a trip out with the girls to see the Steve McCurry photograph exhibition. The exhibition was held in a great location, the historic pier 2/3 at Walsh Bay Arts Precinct Sydney. We had a leisurely stroll through The Rocks to get there and a cold wine upon arrival.

Steve McCurry is responsible for one of the most famous photographs in the world to date, The Afghan Girl. This photograph is so compelling, so disturbing, so provoking that one can’t help but be moved by it.

I have seen artists paint wonderful renditions of this photograph, however seeing the actual photograph up close is startling.
