早晨我一看阳光灿烂，决定还是去纽约吧，把VISA取回来。在等BUS时，这风吹过来时脸都痛，今天 可能是今年冬天最冷的一天了，后来知道最高温度也只有华氏18度。美领馆大楼在江边，风更大，让我惊奇的是还有几位抗议迫害法轮功的，竟然执着地站立在风口里，这大概就是“信念”的力量了，架在刀口也巍然不动，我已冷的嗦嗦抖，他们是不是真会感动上帝！都说上帝是不分是非的，只管心诚则灵。
一切都很顺利，想见的人不在，我喜欢让机会碰上我。走过两个block，人开始冷却下来，就推门进了一家快餐店，要了一碗热的蔬菜汤， 啊，好温暖，抬头见到墙上一幅画，眼睛一亮，仔细看原来是Steve McCurry的摄影作品，怪不得，好像记得谁介绍过，他的摄影充满了人文关怀，拍的都是普通人，甚至都是些身陷苦难的人，回来找到他的blog，这张“Afghan refugee girl”，出神的苦难，惊恐的眼神，还有油画的效果。他走遍世界各地，但是他的镜头不对准美人美景，而是普世的大众，用摄影来体现慈悲，怜悯，悲诉，如同写作一样，更会得到共鸣，让他连连得奖。
放几张我喜欢的，仔细品味一下，他的相片都有动感，活生生的：
Steve McCurry, recognized universally as one of today's finest image-makers, is best known for his evocative color photography. In the finest documentary tradition, McCurry captures the essence of human struggle and joy.
Born in Philadelphia, McCurry graduated cum laude from the College of Arts and Architecture at the Pennsylvania State University. After working at a newspaper for two years, he left for India to freelance. It was in India that McCurry learned to watch and wait on life. "If you wait," he realized, "people will forget your camera and the soul will drift up into view."
His career was launched when, disguised in native garb, he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled Afghanistan just before the Russian invasion. When he emerged, he had rolls of film sewn into his clothes and images that would be published around the world as among the first to show the conflict there. His coverage won the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Photographic Reporting from Abroad, an award dedicated to photographers exhibiting exceptional courage and enterprise.
He is the recipient of numerous awards, including Magazine Photographer of the Year, awarded by the National Press Photographers Association. This was the same year in which he won an unprecedented four first prizes in the World Press Photo contest. He has won the Olivier Rebbot Award twice.
McCurry has covered many areas of international and civil conflict, including Beirut, Cambodia, the Philippines, the Gulf War, the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and Tibet. He focuses on the human consequences of war, not only showing what war impresses on the landscape, but rather, on the human face.
McCurry's work has been featured in every major magazine in the world and frequently appears in National Geographic, with recent articles on Tibet, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and the temples of Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
A high point in McCurry's career was the rediscovery of the previously unidentified Afghan refugee girl that many have described as the most recognizable photograph in the world today.
McCurry has published books including The Imperial Way (1985), Monsoon (1988), Portraits (1999), South Southeast (2000), Sanctuary (2002), The Path to Buddha: A Tibetan Pilgrimage (2003), Steve McCurry (2005), and Looking East (2006).
