A picture of a beautiful little girl's face from Afghanistan went viral- from National Geography Magazine to all other media outlets. The picture was taken 17 years ago and her identity was unknown. No one knew where she is or even if she is alive. She was nicknamed " The Afghan Girl " until her identity was revealed in 2002.
Steve's photography was associated by many all over the world with the Famous Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The expedition or the search to find the "Afghan girl " took weeks because a lot of woman claimed to be her and even husbands were claiming that is their wife. Finally one of the girl who claimed to be "The Afghan Girl " was found and through a new technology called "The Iris mapping" she was found to be the "Sharbat Gula". The face of the Afghan woman, famous all around the world was now hidden underneath a vial. And as the tradition dictates she was not allowed to take the hijab off, however through much dialogue and her husbands approval, her picture was taken with the same pose as her first picture and with out a vial. She was 30 years old when her second picture was taken and her face shows the struggle of woman living in Refugee Camp after Afghanistan turned in to a war zone and the Soviet's attacked her village.
