Steve McCurry was born in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He studied film at Pennsylvania State University, while working at a local news paper. He made freelance images until his first trip to India. He has since traveled extensively and captures family's at their strongest and weakest moments.
His work is so home hitting it is almost shocking. I felt a strong connection with this particular series of images because they reflect very deeply on the frailness of life, and on the strength to go on. Age may cause you to become frail, but heart and mind can keep the will to push on. All of these images are taken in different parts of the globe which reminds us of our similarities, and our strengths.
