Title: haunting green eyes
Post by: Ozark on March 12, 2002, 11:16:49 PM: Everytime I watch the National Geographic channel and see that photo, I always wondered what happened to that young girl with those eyes. Thanks for the link.

If you want a picture that pretty much captures a life of hardship, this one always comes to my mind:

Octavious, you little salamander.
I'm still getting used to my new keyboard.
You have no hope of me desiring you.

Post by: Leslie on March 13, 2002, 12:31:48 AM: I remember when the portrait of this beautiful young woman appeared on the National Geographic cover. I have thought about her often, and also the situation she was in then, and now. I'm glad she is still alive. I could never forget her eyes. They are so intense.

Ya, not that this girl hasn't had it extremely rough, however....

Clean her up, give her some nice garb to wear, maybe some makeup and I betcha you still gotta knockout!

Life is brutal for women in those areas. They treat their dogs better.

Post by: Doberman on March 13, 2002, 01:37:58 PM: Coupla years back at the local library's end-of-summer sale there were several boxes of National Geographics. Started out a quarter each, but by the end of the weekend they let me have 'em all for free. There were a coupla of copies of this issue in there. I've got one framed and hanging on my wall, along with some of the other famous NG pics.

Post by: myelo on March 13, 2002, 02:18:10 PM: NPR interviewed the photographer this morning. He said she was now in her 30's with 3 kids. The photographer (or maybe the magazine) is providing some financial support for her to help her children go to school.
