Reading photos - Steve McCurry

Browsing a magazine I was enchanted by a photo in an ad taken by Steve McCurry which shows an elephant leaning on a rock and seemingly looking over the shoulder of his mahout who is - incongruously, delightfully, quietly - reading a book...

Here is Steve McCurry's website http://www.stevemccurry.com - (I downloaded his PDF catalogue under the Fine Art prints button to browse images) but better still, go to his blog - each post is a mini-exhibition... http://stevemccurry.wordpress.com

These 3 posts feature images of readers - Fusion : the synergy of images and words...
"We are familiar with words describing images, but not so familiar with images describing words and the impact reading has on our lives."

Other posts celebrate fathers, or mothers, or elephants or sleep, the power of one or the power of two... such a talent.
