The Afghan Girl
I remember being in the dentist's waiting room and gazing at this cover. It is one of the few images throughout my life that resonated and remained with me. I remember when they first located Gula; I was so moved by the fact that the world had embraced this face yet she had no idea.
And now, we say goodbye to Kodachrome, the film used to take this moving photo. Yes, it's actually a big deal, but progress is what it is. I certainly can't knock it since I could never afford photography as a hobby prior to digital.
But, I think it's worth noting the moment.
