Steve McCurry

One photographer I deeply admire is Steve McCurry, a photojournalist mostly known for his National Geographic photographs. And one of my favorite photography book is his Portraits, a small (5x7) book of about a hundred unforgettable and beautiful street portraits of people all over the world.  The book hardly contains any words, just remarkable photos worth a thousand words that I look at over and over again.  To put it simply, he and this book inspire me.

I know that chances are, I will not be famous photojournalist like Steve. But I do enjoy photography as a creative outlet. A wish for myself is that once in awhile, I take a photo that speak to people, similar to Steve's body of work.
