I was thinking yesterday about the one of the most remembered covers in National Geographic history would have to be the Afghan woman June issue of 1985.

It is something that I think that a lot of photographers strive to reach for. To have a image that is as compelling as those eyes were in that image. I have been searching for that spark over here and I haven’t been able to capture it. I have a rare opportunity over here to be able to create portraits of people that millions of photographers will never have access to and I have to take advantage of that.
There is one issue whit photographing people here, you can’t really shoot the women, the kids don’t want their picture to be taken, well not at first and when they do you have crowd of kids and it is hard to get what I am searching for.
I have been stuck inside the wire for quite a bit of time and it has limited what I can do. I hope that I will be out more often next month. I will definitely be looking at seeing if I can capture what I have been seeking. I can’t wait for it to green up around here.
