portraits

my new book. i am soooo excited to pore over these amazing portraits..

My obsession with this blog here is no secret.. He (Scott Schuman) just published his first book which will be my next book buy. He had a post a couple weeks back about his collection of books and inspirations and this was his first and favorite sooooo I bought it. Steve McCurry is the amazing talented photographer who has for the last 20 years worked for the "National Geographic" and other publications on numerous assignments: along the Afghan border, in Baghdad, Beirut and the Sahel. His coverage of the monsoon won first prize in the World Press Awards, and was part of his portfolio when he was named Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1984.

Each photo is so full of emotion, it is amazing..
