Family Matters

Steve McCurry has been a one of the most iconic voices in contemporary photography for more than 30 years, with scores of magazine and book covers, over a dozen books, and countless exhibitions around the world to his name. He brought the world the first visuals of the conflict in Afghanistan, putting a human face to the issue with the celebrated image of the Afghan Girl and many other such powerful photographs.

Truth, Beauty, Love

Yesterday we obeyed kings and
bent our necks before emperors.
But today we
kneel only to truth,
follow only beauty,
and obey only love.

Holiness Comes Wrapped In The Ordinary

Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary.
There are burning bushes all around you.
Every tree is full of angels.
Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb.
