Steve McCurry

guess many of you will already know this photographer but a friend sent me the link as I think he is a fellow Leica user. Certainly has a great eye:

err... yea, he does.
Thats probably why he is world famous...

I'd really like to think if I had the ability to travel all over the world that I could take stunning pictures as well.

Old saying attributed to Ansel Adams, "F/16, and be there!"

I have a couple of his books and whenever I'm feeling a little down about photography, I look through them and get re-inspired.

Thank you for my new sig!

Wow - just went and checked out his site and blog. Great stuff, really well done, but frankly, I didn't like it.

I guess it's just a little too jarring for my tastes. I equate photography with joy and creativity (right or wrong, that's just me) and I don't get that from his work.

I certainly respect his abilities though.

The quote is actually "F8 and be there".
