Penn Stater, McCurry

WE ARE ... PENN STATE! In honor of the upcoming Blue & White Alumni Weekend in Happy Valley, we decided to support a fellow Penn Stater. We went to the Steve McCurry exhibit, "Unguarded Moment," at the Sejong Center in Seoul. For 8,000w it was definitely worth the visit. It was a larger exhibit than I initially thought and I was pleasantly surprised by his photographs. His most famous photo was there, but it didn't overshadow the exhibit. There were two pieces in particular that I enjoyed.

 India, 1996 by Steve McCurry

We found ourselves creating the dialogue for this picture... their looks say it all. I'll give credit where credit is due; Austin sealed the deal with, "An umbrella. Really, honey, you grabbed an umbrella." Not to make a joke at something as devastating as a flood, however, the irony is there- we just said it out loud.

The other photo/piece I really was drawn to was an interaction between a grandfather and his grandson. The photo was also India, 1996. The grandfather is giving his grandson a lesson, or possibly the boy is getting in trouble... I can't seem to find the image online (other than on McCurry's site)... but, it's a great shot.
