看到bostonian 在这里提到摄影师Steve McCurry, 就想到了“PORTRAITS" 这本书。
书中片子很感人，而且他的开场白一直让我记忆犹新。写得很美，所以我不敢随便翻译。但还是想贴在这里于大家分享。

In PORTRAITS I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person's face... when I find the right person or subject, I may come back once or twice, or half a dozen times, always waiting for the right moment. Unlike the writer, once I pack my bags, there is no chance for another draft - either I have the shot or I don't. This is what drives and haunts the professional photographer, the gnawing sense that "this is it".
For me, the portraits in this book speak a desire for human connection: a desire so strong that people who know they will never see me again open themselves to the camera, all in the hope that a the other end someone else will be watching - someone who will laugh or suffer with them.
From an outpouring of pictures over 20 years, these are the faces I cannot forget. Some stare out of places I don't want to remember. All of them represent chance connections in a world of resilience.

-Steve McCurry (from the book "PORTRAITS")
