Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery


In Focus: National Geographic Greatest Portraits, an exhibition consisting of 56 striking color and black-and-white photographs, is on display at the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery on SUU's campus. I walked through the gallery and loved it. One of the highlights was Steve McCurry's image of the green-eyed Afghan girl. Below is the original picture on the left and then on the right is the same woman, 17 years later.

Time has certanly taken out some of the fire from those eyes. Very interesting. To see more of Steve McCurry's work, visit his website: http://www.stevemccurry.com/main.php. I quite enjoyed it.

Steve is the man and those shots are so epic. Plus he's Penn State Alumni so he's even awesomer because of that.
