The Afghan Girl Photograph (1992)
The afghan girl, picture shot by National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry. Sharbat Gula was one of the students in an informal school within the refugee camp; McCurry, rarely given the opportunity to photograph Afghan women, seized the opportunity and captured her image. She was approximately 12 years old at the time. She made it on the cover of National Geographic next year, and her identity was discovered in 1992.

That is an awesome pic, i remember seeing it on the cover and thinking that she looks like she looks like she wants to kill the photographer. Almost has a "how dare you!! " kind of look to her eyes.

They found her again not too long ago, still the same eyes... but transplanted into Ron Jeremy. Seriously, she was still alive a few years ago, they found her and her picture was on the cover of National Geographic again. Had a whole story about her and everything. |
