McCurry was grew up in Philedaphia, studied film in college, and went on to work at the local newspaper. He did freelance work and during that time made a trip to India and then started exploring the world with his camera.
McCurry work was featured world wide in newspapers. When he is in other countries he photographs conflict such as Iran-Iraq war, and the Gulf war. He seems like a guy who goes to the places where no one else will go. He has been given many awards, such as magazine photographer of the year, and four first place prices in the World Press Photo contest.
This picture was a picture that McCurry took while in Kabul, Afghanistan. When I see this picture a see a young boy sitting on the side of the road trying to sell bread, to make money for his family. This picture makes me thankful that I have an indoor job a car that is reliable and my husbad that works hard every day to make a living for me.
