Sacred Enterprises

". . .Steve McCurry. . .famous [for his] photograph “Afghan Girl” — as well you [he] should — but he’s no one trick pony. This week, Underground NYPL tipped us [Flavor Wire] off to a gorgeous photo series of people reading around the world that McCurry recently posted on his blog, and we were completely blown away. Spanning the globe from Canada to Kashmir and augmented with choice quotes about the joy of reading from a few famous names, including McCurry himself, the series is a phenomenal ode to the universality and wonder of literature in any language. Click through to see some of our favorite photographs, and then head over to his blog to check out even more shots — they’re all truly fantastic."

We humans, at once so certain and as yet so uncertain, as to what separates us from the animals, surely know that this is what does so. And remember this, integrate it to the very deepest reaches of your soul, nothing but good happens to societies that educate women.
Steve McCurry, photographer, Afghanistan
