Beatrice Lessi
Steve McCurry is an America photo journalist best known for his portrait of an Afghan girl that became the cover of a famous National Geographic issue and the most popular and recognisable picture on earth.
His blog, Stevemccurry.wordpress.com, is a delightful and regularly updated source of thought-provoking, gorgeous images. its latest newsletter is a collection of portraits, to which I add the already famous one at the end. Eye candy and a tour around the world!
