January 22 Photo competitionI've just entered an AirMiles photo competition. The theme is 'People in Faraway Places' and as I've taken photos of a lot of people in a lot of faraway places, I thought, why not give it a go? The problem is you are only allowed to submit one photo.  Finally, I decided on this portrait of an Afghan refugee girl, called Fatimah, I met outside a bazaar in Iran. She has a haunting kind of beauty that perhaps, like Sharbat Gula's, Steve McCurry's famous Afghan Girl with Green Eyes in National Geographic, won't stand the rigors of time, but I hope I've captured it forever in this picture. I discovered, by chance, that an Italian children's charity is already using it on their website, without asking my permission, but as it's a charity, I don't mind. In fact, I'll even give them a bit of publicity: Il Paese dei Bambini che sorridono TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://iwys.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!AB8BD1FA0ACF51BB!777.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
