Steve McCurry: Photographs of Asia will be at the San Diego Museum of Photographic Arts from May 29 - September 25, 2005. I'm planning to hit MOPA on the *free* second Tuesday of the month on June 14 (before 5 p.m.) Feel free to join me.
Documentary photographer Steve McCurry roams the world from Cambodia to Kashmir to Iraq, capturing legendary images that have won him the highest international awards. He is famous for his mesmerizing "Afghan Girl" (1984 ), portrait of a young refugee that appeared on National Geographic's cover in 1985. This exhibition of more than 60 elegant McCurry images provides a window into the lives of people and places many in the West know little about. MoPA is proud to present the work of this Robert Capa Gold Medal Winner for Best Photographic Reporting from Abroad.
Update: 05/27/2005 Several of you have mentioned the story about how they tracked down the Afghan girl. Here it is, for those of you who don't know it.
