Steve McCurry Exhibition, 24/09/11

I went to a photography exhibition in London on Saturday, the photographer was Steve McCurry. It was very interesting, because when I'm older, I would like to experience journalist/documentary photography, and 'capture the world' (sounds cheesy, but it's true haha) and basically do what McCurry does...

"Steve McCurry is known for his evocative color photography, he in the finest documentary tradition, captures the essence of human struggle and joy. McCurry captures the essence of human struggle and joy. McCurry has searched and found the unforgettable; many of his images have become modern icons.  He was born in Philadelphia, McCurry graduated from the College of Arts and Architecture at the Pennsylvania State University. After working at a newspaper for two years, he left for India to freelance. It was in India that McCurry learned to watch and wait on life."

“If you wait,” he realized, “people will forget your camera and the soul will drift up into view.”
- Steve McCurry

(Didn't mean to write loads, but felt you needed to understand who he is, and what he does, before you look at his work...) These are a few images of his work that I like, some of them were in the exhibition;
