Steve McCurry Untold spans 30 years of McCurry's career and includes fascinating ephemera from his travels: diary entries, photos of him at work and some of the 20-plus passports he's gone through over the decades… He manages to make the world seem enormous and quite small; exotic, and somehow familiar.
I chose to look at this book as Steve McCurry is one of the major influence of this project as he has photographed Buddhist around the world also this book has so many bits of information that I didn't know about
" Their is something deeply appealing about Buddhist countries"Page 205
"I am endlessly intrigued by the way the monks live, by the way the Buddhist philosophy emphasizes compassion, as well as the iconography. The ethics and the aesthetics of Buddhism are melded in a unique way" Page 205
Both quote are by Steve McCurry describing why he finds Buddhism so interesting. they stood out to me while I was reading this chapter because I would feel the same this religion is unique and i cant help my self but want to travel to the Buddhist countries.

The book will be influencing my project as it has given me an insight to what Steve McCurry thought of the Buddhist also on why he became so interested in the philosophy. The book has also given me some more ideas on what I may photograph even though my project is slightly different i hope to get dome photos that show what the Buddhist religion is like.
