Steve McCurry is better known for his photograph of an Afghan girl that has become popular throughout the world.

The shot is renowned for the girl's captivating eyes, which capture the trauma of her war-torn country at that time.

McCurry came to Korea to participate in the "2006 Daegu Photo Biennale," held last week.

He talks about his motives for becoming a photographer, his experiences in many different countries mostly in Asia, and his philosophy as a photographer.
