Lawyer with a love of books and photos. I grew up with Nat Geo in my life and this forum seems to be a great place to exchange info and passion for all things Nat Geo.
Favorite National Geographic publication:
June 1985 issue- no one who sees those eyes will ever forget them. I have that issue in my office.
Welcome to the Collector's Corner. And yes, the Afghan Girl (Sharbat Gula) portrait is a storied photograph for sure.
Actually, I always liked the other portrait Steve McCurry took of her better. It was the first one he took of her, before another adult made her take her hands away from her face. (See below),
