Steve McCurry on Documentary Portraiture

I thought some here might be interested...

"Here’s an interesting video in which renowned photojournalist Steve McCurry shares some thoughts on documentary portraiture. Titled Close Up: Photographers at Work, the video takes us behind-the-scenes with McCurry as he shoots some candid portraits on the street and then reviews some of his most prized shots captured over the course of his career. (There’s a brief glimpse of the original film slides of his iconic Afghan Girl photo.)"

Thanks, this is a good example of thread that broadens our photographic horizon rather narrows it to gear. Nice going.
