Rajastan, Intia. 1983.

“I was driving down a road between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, India. It was sunny and sweltering hot at about 110°F (43°C), when the sky suddenly went dark and a pre-monsoon dust storm began. As the storm got stronger and more dramatic, the air became thick with dust. Through the haze, I could see these women huddled together off the side of the road protecting themselves from the driving wind. This region had been suffering from a drought for more than a decade and the women were singing a prayer for rain. I got out of the car, ran across a field and photographed them moments before the storm disappeared. Then the sun immediately came out, as if nothing had ever happened.”



Steve McCurry on yksi 1900-luvun parhaista valokuvaajista, kuten Henri Cartier-Bresson, Helmut Newton, Robert Mapplethorpe, Elliott Erwitt, Annie Leibovitz tai Robert Capa; häntä pidettiin 20-luvun kulttuurin ikonina Andy Warholin, Basquiatin, Roy Lichtensteinin, Jeff Koonsin tai Banksyn tavoin.
