Unpublished, Unseen 4
Over the past thirty years, I have taken nearly a million pictures. Many of them have been published in my books, in magazines, and seen in my exhibitions, but a majority have never been seen. Here are a few of those unseen pictures.
Myanmar/Burma, 2011
Burma, 2011
Chiang Mai, Thailand, 2011
Tokyo, Japan, 2008
Day of Ashura, Afghanistan
France, 1989
Madrid, 1995
Rajasthan, India, 2010
Myanmar/Burma, 2011
Myanmar/Burma
Mumbai/Bombay, 2011
India
Chiang Mai, Thailand
Myanmar/Burma
India
Over the years I’ve come to see that all of us are basically the same. There are many more similarities that bind us than differences that separate us.

Aloha Steve,
Your images need to be shown on television and in the main stream press. It would be great to see you be offered a corespondents position on PBS, CNN or MSNBC sharing your work and insight at least once a month. It’s unconscionable that these remain hidden from us as a people. Gordon Parks stated it so eloquently, you have made your choice of weapons. I pray yours is effective.
You are truly special for doing what you do.

Hi Steve.
If you have to pick just one camera and a lens to get up and go for a day long shooting, what would be your choice? …. I’m talking about places in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh ect.
By the way, I’m sorry that Mama took your Kodachrome away !!!
You are my hero

Great series, as usual. I have lots of unpublished pictures too, but that’s probably because they never got published (yet)
Thank you for inspiring so many of us Steve.

In a way, I hate you… (just kidding, no offense ya ?)
You are a so great humanist, through your photos. I do the same, I mean, I try to take good photos… But when I watch your work, then suddenly I feel soooooo small !!!
That’s the reason why I hate you… But I love you more than that…
March 20, 2011 at 21:49

What wonders you have captured. I especially love the flow of Myanmar/Burma 2011. And, yes, those wild old ladies in France, 1989. Last, but not least and certainly not the only one, ChiangMai, Thailand and that old tree framing the scene.
Every time I get a notice of your post, I feel like I get a little vacation to exotic places .
March 16, 2011 at 23:35
Steve, my favorite has to be the three French ladies under the tree. Priceless facial expressions. Thank you once more for these visual treats!
March 17, 2011 at 06:02
My fvrt too!! as usual awesome post!
March 16, 2011 at 22:29
I love all the human gestures so full of grace. Thank you for being there with your eye and camera . I love sharing these with my students.
March 16, 2011 at 20:52
I could only be grateful there’s a Steve McCurry to show that the mysterious is visible.
March 16, 2011 at 14:22
As usual no words to express my feeling admiring this stunning images from this great legend. I was so lucky to attend a Magnum workshop from this legend, who is so simple and down to earth. He is my hero.
March 16, 2011 at 10:28

Great images all ~ my fave is the ladies in France.
March 15, 2011 at 22:50
I am impressed with your use of a, for lack of better phrasing, “frames within a frame.”
If you don’t mind me asking, how deliberate of a technique is this for you?
March 15, 2011 at 21:48
Great selection, Steve! Thank you. Some of these pictures are just absolutely beautiful.

Speechless with every post you have here. You have complete stories in each picture, people that let us know their feelings.

Love them. I can feel your patience in them.

Prezado sr Steve
Tenho acompanhado seu trabalho ao longo dos ultimos anos e o que mais me impressiona em suas fotografias é o sentimento que transmitem.
Hoje pela manha estava olhando o seu website e descobri que o sr havia fotografado os moradores de Lambari aqui no Brazil .
Fantásticas
abraço
