Magnum Photos, the world’s first cooperative photo agency that Capa founded in 1947, along with legendary colleagues Henri Cartier-Bresson, David “Chim” Seymour, George Rodger and William Vandivert, is commemorating his centenary by asking photographers everywhere to 'Get Closer'.

Photographer Steve McCurry is known for his dramatic pictures, but the most famous shot he’s ever taken, a striking image of an Afghan girl, almost never got seen. He tells NBC’s Jamie Gangel that National Geographic’s photo editor selected another shot, but at the last minute, the magazine’s editor made a switch. 

The award-winning photographer behind the iconic 'Afghan Girl' gave the keynote address at the launch of Lit for Life 2013 in Delhi. Titled 'Picturing the Indian Sub-Continent', McCurry's speech was an audio-visual treat.
