Portraits of Friendship

“Wherever we are, it is our friends
that make our world.”
– Henry Drummond

South Africa
Puerto Rico

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing.  There is a time for silence.  A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny, and a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.”
– Gloria Naylor

France
Cambodia
Burma

“True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must
undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity,
before it is entitled to the appellation.”
George Washington

Burma
Yemen
Brazil

“What is a friend? 
A single soul dwelling in two bodies.”  
– Aristotle

South Africa
Cuba
Bangladesh

“Hold a true friend with both your hands.”  
– Nigerian Proverb

Tibet
India

“ We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed.
As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at
last a drop which makes it run over;
so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one
which makes the heart run over.”
– Samuel Johnson

Namibia
Lebanon
China

“Friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.”  
Aristotle

Ukraine
Afghanistan

Faithful friends are hard to find.”
– William Shakespeare

China
India
Germany

“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship.
It is the spiritual inspiration  that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

NEW BOOK
D E V O T I O N

Burma

This powerful collection of images is collected from the entirety of McCurry’s forty-year career traveling to every corner of the globe. From a mosque in Afghanistan to Burma’s Golden Rock; an Easter offering in Paraguay to an elderly couple at Lourdes; a Tibetan monk in India to evangelicals in America’s heartland.
McCurry captures penetrating moments of devotion, loyalty, faithfulness, and dedication.
Reproduced in stunning color, these photographs honor the universal desire to create meaning in the midst of everyday life and offer viewers an opportunity to connect with their own spirituality—whatever form that takes.
