[post_page_title]Afghan girl[/post_page_title]
Photographer Steve McCurry captured this famous shot while photographing refugees in Afghanistan in 1984. He was observing and taking pictures of a girl’s school in a refugee camp when he spotted Sharbat Gula, a young girl with piercing eyes whose name he learned years later.
She was shy, so McCurry photographed some of the other children, hoping that she wouldn’t want to be left out. Finally, he got the photograph he wanted, and it was even more powerful than he had expected, due to the girl’s haunting expression.
