[Leica] Re: Am I Wrong ? or Steve McCurry's photograph

[Larry Kopitnik <kopitnil@marketingcomm.com>]

There's an extensive portfolio of Steve McCurry's work in the last Nikon
World magazine, all shot with a Nikon FM2 or N90s. Though it's possible he
may also use other equipment, the results of which Nikon World chose not to
show.

The haunting photo of the Afghan refugee which Phong mentions is in the
magazine. It was shot with an FM2 and 105 mm f/2.5 Nikkor.

Hi Dick,

    I too saw the picture.

    I don't know about Nikon equipment, but the picture of the Afghan
    refugee  with her beautiful,  piercing, haunting eyes, is certainly
Steve
    McCurry's.  It graces the cover of National Geographic The Photographs.
    (Is she looking into the conscience of mankind ?).  I wonder if Steve
    McCurry/Nikon/National Geographic secured a model release to use
    her picture in this commercial advertisement.
