Afghan Girl

This is one picture that greatly inspired me as a child.  There was something so mysterious about those eyes.  What has she seen?

At 14 years old, I won a photography award at Berkshire school, and was given the National Geographic book.  The cover photo was the Afghan Girl, taken by Steve McCurry.  I admired him and always wanted him to inspire me.  A few years later, I was able to work with Steve McCurry in NYC.  He still is my favorite photographer and I just love his work.
