А глаза всё те же, хотя и чуть мягче кажутся.

более страдальческие что ли..

а глаза уже не те...

нет уже не те...

простите... а почему "знаменитая" фотография? что это за история?

просто эта фотография попала в 100 лучших фото по мнению National Geographic. Девочке 12 лет, родом из Афганистана, но она попала в Пакистан беженкой.

"Soviet helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan.

“This portrait summed up for me the trauma and plight, and the whole situation of suddenly having to flee your home and end up in refugee camp, hundreds of miles away,” McCurry says of the photo that became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985.

He had come across her two years earlier, while working on a story about the millions of refugees who fled Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion. That was also the only time he saw this nameless face, despite numerous efforts to relocate her after the camp she stayed in was evacuated.

Since then, this raw, untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely reproduced photos in the world, McCurry says.

“I don’t a think a week has gone by for 15 or however many years that I still don’t get requests from people, trying to get information on her,” he says."
