79Afghan Girl With Green Eyes
The photo of the Afghan girl with green eyes by Steve McCurry first appeared on the cover of National Geographic magazine in 1985. Seventeen years later McCurry returned to Afghanistan and succeeded in locating the woman he had photographed so memorably as a girl. She remembered being angry at being photographed by McCurry for the first time in her life. But she allowed him to photograph her again.

65Carl Milles' Orpheus Fountain, Cranbrook Art Academy, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan deedsphotos
Milles at Cranbrook Swedish sculptor Carl Milles was brought to Cranbrook by Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen as director of sculpture in 1931 where he remained until 1952.
