Steve McCurry, "Afghanistan"
Date not found, digital
This photo speaks to me personally in that it reminds me of my constant desire to get away from the world, and take a quite moment to myself to reflect on my thoughts. The landscape the man is in also greatly reflects the area where I grew up, which brings up find childhood memories of my friends and I going hiking in the local mountain ranges. The album title, "Step by Step," says a lot about what this photograph is trying to convey. The sense that even though the entire world is bearing down on you, if you can manage to keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking it all as a series of single steps, everything will turn out alright in the end. And you may spend some of that time alone, but that isn't always a bad thing. Everything will turn out OK.
