(All photos by Steve McCurry, courtesy of the Besharat Foundation) By BETH DONZE Clarion Herald Each of us is a unique member of one human family. That’s the overriding message of a remarkable new exhibit of photographs at St. Rosalie School in Harvey entitled “The Faces of Innocence,” a series of 50 full-color, globe-spanning images of children taken by National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry.
Blown up onto 30-by-40-inch boards and mounted throughout St. Rosalie’s campus, McCurry’s stunning images show children at play, school, work, worship and family life in more than a dozen countries, including Cambodia, Afghanistan, China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Tibet, Cuba and Madagascar.
