A life in pictures

Portrait by Steve McCurry turned out to be one of those images that everyone remembers.  It appeared on the cover of National Geographic June 1985. The Afghan Girl sea green eyes were haunting when you learnt of the tragedy that drained her homeland by war

For 17 years no one knew the Afghan Girl's  name not until McCurry returned to Pakistan to look for the girl with green eyes. Her name is Sharbat Gula. Gula is Pashtun, the most warlike of Afghan tribes. It is said of the Pashtun that they are only at peace when they are at war and her eyes still burn with ferocity now and they did in 1985
