Steve McCurry is an American editorial photographer best known for his photograph "Afghan Girl" which originally appeared in National Geographic magazine.

Early life

Steve McCurry attended Penn State University. He originally planned to study cinematography and filmmaking, but ended up getting a degree in theater arts and graduating in 1974. He became interested in photography when he started taking pictures for the Penn State newspaper The Daily Collegian.[1]
After working at Today's Post in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania for two years, he left for India to freelance.

Career

His career was launched when, disguised in native garb, he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled areas of Afghanistan just before the Soviet invasion. When he emerged, he had rolls of film sewn into his clothes. Those images, which were published around the world, were among the first to show the conflict. His coverage won the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Photographic Reporting from Abroad, an award dedicated to photographers exhibiting exceptional courage and enterprise.[2]
McCurry continued to cover armed conflicts, including the Iran-Iraq War, Lebanon Civil War, the Cambodian Civil War, the Islamic insurgency in the Philippines, the Gulf War and the Afghan Civil War.[2] His work has been featured worldwide in magazines and he is a frequent contributor to National Geographic. He has been a member of Magnum Photos since 1986.
He is the recipient of numerous awards, including Magazine Photographer of the Year, awarded by the National Press Photographers Association. The same year, he won an unprecedented four first-place prizes in the World Press Photo contest. In 2014, McCurry was awarded The Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal.[3]
McCurry focuses on the human consequences of war, not only showing what war impresses on the landscape, but rather, on the human face. “Most of my images are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape, that you could call the human condition.”[4]
Steve McCurry is portrayed in a TV documentary The Face of the Human Condition (2003) by French award-winning filmmaker Denis Delestrac.
In May 2012 Steve McCurry was Pirelli's inspired choice of photographer to shoot the pictures for the 2013 Pirelli Calendar in Rio de Janeiro.

"Afghan Girl"

Main article: Afghan Girl
McCurry took his most recognized portrait, "Afghan Girl", in a refugee camp near Peshawar, Pakistan.[5] The image itself was named as "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the National Geographic magazine and her face became famous as the cover photograph on the June 1985 issue. The photo has also been widely used on Amnesty International brochures, posters, and calendars. The identity of the "Afghan Girl" remained unknown for over 17 years until McCurry and a National Geographic team located the woman, Sharbat Gula, in 2002. McCurry said, “Her skin is weathered; there are wrinkles now, but she is as striking as she was all those years ago.”

Kodachrome

Although McCurry shoots both in digital and film, his admitted preference is for transparency film. Eastman Kodak let him shoot the last ever produced roll of Kodachrome transparency film, which was processed in July 2010 by Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas and will be housed at the George Eastman House.[6] Most of the photos, excluding a few near-duplicates, have been published on the Internet by Vanity Fair.[7] "I shot it for 30 years and I have several hundred thousand pictures on Kodachrome in my archive. I'm trying to shoot 36 pictures that act as some kind of wrap up – to mark the passing of Kodachrome. It was a wonderful film."

Properly inspecting and regularly cleaning your guns will keep them functioning effectively and firing safely. Because of the tiny explosion in the chamber every time you pull the trigger, residue and sediment are left on the inside of the barrel, making it essential that you take the time to clean it regularly to avoid dangerous malfunctions. You should clean a gun after every time you fire it, and particularly after target practice when you are firing lots of rounds. See Step 1 to learn to start cleaning your guns properly.

Part 1 of 3: Getting Start
  1. Clean a Gun Step 1
    1
    Get a cleaning kit. Whether you purchase a pre-assmebled cleaning kit from a sporting goods store or you assemble the necessary components individually, you'll need a few basic things to have in your arsenal of cleaning supplies. A basic set includes:
    • Cleaning solvent
    • Lubricant, or gun oil
    • A bore brush
    • A patch holder and patches
    • Cleaning rod
    • A nylon cleaning brush
    • Flashlight
    • Cotton swabs
    • Microfiber cloths for polishing

  2. Clean a Gun Step 2
    2
    Unload your gun. Always take the time to properly unload your gun and double-check to make sure that it's unloaded every time you pick it up to clean it. Remember that your gun may still have a round ready to fire after you remove the magazine, so check and remove this round.
    • After opening the chamber, look through the barrel from back to front. Confirm that no round remains inside, either in the chamber or stuck in the barrel. No gun can be considered unloaded until you have looked through the barrel.
  3. Clean a Gun Step 3
    3
    Disassemble your gun only as much as the manufacturer recommends. Check the owner's manual for disassembly instructions to prepare the gun for cleaning. This will allow you to access all parts that become dirty from firing.
    • Semi-automatic pistols and rifles will generally be stripped into their major components: barrel, slide, guide rod, frame and magazine. Revolvers, shotguns, and most other sorts of guns will not need to be stripped to clean them.[1]
    • Field stripping is not necessary to clean the gun thoroughly. Don't take apart your gun more than you have to unless it requires repair. Likewise, some guns can't be stripped at all and it won't be necessary to do anything but open the chamber to clean it.
  4. Clean a Gun Step 4
    4
    Always clean your gun in a well-ventilated area. Find a a place with good air circulation to clean your guns. Solvent fumes are noxious and can make you sick. Likewise, the solvent and lubricant used just flat-out smell foul if you try to clean your guns indoors, so keep your family happy and don't stink up the joint.
    • Cover your work surface with plastic bags, newspaper, or old towels you've saved for the purpose. Head out to the garage and put the door up, or clean your guns on a bright and dry day to get them cleaned properly.

Part 2 of 3: Cleaning the Gun

  1. Clean a Gun Step 5


    1
    Clean out the barrel with cleaning rod and patches. Soak the bore, or inside of the barrel, using a cleaning rod, patch holder and the right size cotton patches for your gun. Work from the back of the bore if you can. If not, use a muzzle guard. The muzzle guard keeps the cleaning rod from banging against the muzzle, which can cause your gun to malfunction.
    • To thoroughly clean the barrel out, push a solvent-soaked patch through the bore until it exits the other end. Remove the patch, don't pull it back through. Pulling it back through will just redeposit all the gunk you clean off.[2]
  2. Clean a Gun Step 6
    2
    Alternate the bore brush and patches to thoroughly scrub the barrel. Remove the patch holder and attach the bore brush. Run the bore brush back and forth along the full length of the bore 3 or 4 times to loosen any debris. Next, reattach the patch holder and run solvent-soaked cotton patches through the bore. Remove them when they exit the front. Repeat this process until a patch comes out clean.
    • Run one more dry patch through to dry it out and inspect it closely for any build-up you may have missed.
  3. Clean a Gun Step 7
    3
    Lubricate the barrel. Attach the cotton mop to the cleaning rod. Apply a few drops of gun conditioner or lubricant to the cotton mop and run it through the bore to leave a light coating of gun oil on the inside.[3]
  4. Clean a Gun Step 8
    4
    Clean and lubricate the action with solvent. Apply solvent to the gun brush and brush all parts of the action. Wipe them dry with a clean cloth.
    • Next, lubricate the moving parts of the action lightly. A light coating helps prevent rust. A heavy coating gets gummy and attracts debris, so only use a small amount.
  5. Clean a Gun Step 9
    5
    Wipe down the rest of your gun with a luster cloth. This is a flannel cloth that comes pre-treated with a silicon lubricant. It will remove any remaining debris, including acid from fingerprints, and add shine.
    • If you don't have a particular cloth designated for cleaning guns, old t-shirts and pairs of socks work really well for the purpose. Use something you've got lying around and won't need to reuse.

part 3 of 3: Maintaining Guns

  1. Clean a Gun Step 10
    1
    Clean your gun after every use. A good-quality firearm is a significant investment, whether you're using it for sport, hunting, or home defense. Make sure you give it the attention it deserves whenever you get back from a round of firing it.
    • The whole cleaning process, start to finish, only takes 20 or 30 minutes. It's worth it to do it regularly. You might even consider getting out old guns from the back of the closet and doing them all at once while you've got the materials out. Can't hurt.
  2. Clean a Gun Step 11
    2
    Consider investing in a barrel snake and/or ultrasonic cleaners. Like everything else, gun cleaning technology is cutting edge. For rifles and shotguns, barrel snakes are long multi-purpose cleaners that make the job much quicker and easier, some featuring lights on the end that allow you to see the interior of the barrel much more easily. It cuts down on time and makes the job more efficient.
  3. Clean a Gun Step 12
    3
    Store your guns unloaded in a cool and dry environment. To ensure the longest life for your gun, don't store them anywhere they'll be significantly affected by the elements. Keep them indoors, in temperature-controlled environments. Consider investing in trigger locks to keep your gun safe and tamper proof.
    • Soft or hard cases are available for guns, anywhere as cheap as $15 or $20. If you have a higher budget, there are also lockable gun cabinets and safes made for the purpose of storing guns in a controlled and locked environment.[4]



Tips

  • You can also clean a bore with a bore snake. To use a bore snake, apply solvent to the portion in front of the brush and gun conditioner or lubricant to the portion behind the brush. Drop the weight through the bore from back to front and pull the snake through.
  • While you're cleaning a gun, inspect all the parts for defects or signs of wear. If you find any, take the gun to a gunsmith.

Warnings

  • Always take the time to check and make sure your gun is unloaded before attempting to clean it.

Things You'll Need

  • Cleaning rod with patch holder, bore brush, cotton mop
  • Cleaning solvent
  • Cotton patches
  • Gun conditioner
  • Gun brush
  • Clean cloth
  • Lubricant
  • Luster cloth

Mamak, Ankara'nın metropol ilçelerindendir. Bulundurmuş olduğu askeri birlik ve ceazevi ile adı özdeşleşmiştir.

İçindekiler

Tarihçe

Mamak ilçesinin kuruluşu 1200’lü yılların ikinci yarısına rastlar. Kurucuları ise Ahilerdir. Ankara’da hüküm süren Ahi Hükümeti, değişik mekânları kuran ve yönetenlerin isimlerini o mekanlara verirler ve bu bölgeler, orayı idare eden Ahi büyüklerinin isimleri ile anılırlardı. Ahi Mamak, Ahi Etimesgut, Ahi Tura gibi… Mamak’ta ahiler tarafından kurulan çiftliği de Ahi Mamak yönetmiş ve buraya ismini vermiştir. Ankara’nın Osmanlılara geçmesinden sonra ise buradaki çiftliğe Tahir isminde bir komutan atanır. Kaynaklarda bu komutanı Tahir Mamak olarak görürüz.
Mamak’ın tarihi, Anadolu’nun tarihi ile özdeştir. Mamak-Kayaş’ta yapılan araştırmalarda Anadolu’nun oluşum tarihine rastlarız. Prof. Dr. Kurt LEUCHS, Kayaş’ta 1932 yılında yapmış olduğu araştırmalarda Anadolu’nun oluşumuna katkı sağladığı bilinmektedir.
Bölgemizde yapılan araştırmalar tarihe ışık tutmuştur. Max Pfannenstiel, Hüseyin Gazi Dağı çevresinde yaptığı araştırmalarda 5 cm’lik bir bıçakla birlikte Mamak tarihine ışık tutacak başka eşyalar da bulur. Kutludüğün, Ortaköy, Gökçeyurt ve Kızılca çevresinde Romalılar dönemine ait bazı tarihi eser kalıntılarına da rastlanmıştır. Kutludüğün Beldesi’nde bulunan bir eser bugün Anadolu Medeniyetleri Müzesi’nde sergilenmektedir. Yine Kutludüğünde çıkan bazı tarihi eserler eski belediye binası önünde sergilenmektedir. Ortaköy ve Gökçeyurt mahallelerinde bulunan erken Roma dönemi kalıntıları da camilerimizi süslemektedir.
Romalılar döneminde Mamak bölgesi su kaynaklarıyla ünlüdür. Ünlü Roma hamamlarının suyu Kayaş’taki Romalılar galerisinden (M.Ö. 25) gelir. Bu su kaynağı Cumhuriyete kadar Ankara’nın su kaynağı olmaya devam eder. Romalılar döneminde Ankara’nın doğu kapısı Mamak’tır. Bu yollara ait mesafe taşları Ortaköy civarında bulunmuştur.
Anadolu’nun Türkler tarafından ele geçirilmesiyle birlikte, Türk obaları birer birer Mamak’ın şimdiki mahallelerine yerleştirilir. Bu bölgedeki isimlerin tamamına yakını Türk obalarından alır. Nenek, Kızılca, Bayındır, Kayaş, gibi.
Moğol saldırıları ile sarsılan Anadolu düzeni Ankara’yı da etkiler. 40 yıl Moğol egemenliğinde kalan Ankara’da daha sonra Ahi egemenliğini görürüz. Ahi egemenliği sırasında Mamak Bölgesi ‘Ahi Mamak’ olarak anılır. Ankara’nın Osmanlılar tarafından fethinden sonra Mamak Bölgesi, ‘bölgenin meyve hanesi’ olarak anılmaya başlar. Hatip Çayı istikametince onlarca su değirmeni vardır. Osmanlı arşivlerinde bu değirmenlerin el değiştirdiğine işaret edilir. Bu su değirmenleri 1950’lı yıllara kadar Ankaralılara hizmet etmiştir.
Cumhuriyet Döneminde Mamak ilçemizde, Ankara’nın ilk toplu taşım aracı olan Ankara-Kayaş Banliyö Tren Hattı (1929) kurulmuştur. Mamak Bölgesi Ankara’nın ilk şehir planlamasında gözükmez. Fakat 1930’lu yıllardan itibaren Mamak Bölgesi gecekondulaşmaya başlamıştır. Banliyö Tren Hattı üzerinde gecekondular süratle artar. 1950’li yıllara gelindiğinde, Ankara şehir planı tekrar gözden geçirilir. Devrin Başbakanı Adnan Menderes, Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir ve Konya başta olmak üzere Büyükşehirlerin planlamasının yapılmasını ister. Bu devirde yapılan planlarda bölgemizin ismi geçmeye başlar ve Demirlibahçe’de Menderes’in özel ilgisi ile planlı bir yapılaşma başlar.
Mamak Bölgesi bu tarihten itibaren hızlı bir gecekondulaşmaya süreci yaşar. Bu gecekonduların bahçelerinde ağaçlar dikilir, küçük kümesler oluşturulur. Artık köy hayatı Ankara metropolitenine taşınmıştır. 1970 lerden başlayarak 1990’lı yıllara kadar başlayan yoğun göç dalgası neticesinde, artık Mamak’ın yüzde 90’ı gecekondulardan oluşmuştur. Kendi sorunlarını çözmek üzere atılan ilk adımla da, 1983 yılında Mamak, Çankaya ilçesinden ayrılarak ilçe haline gelir. 1984 yılında ilk belediye seçimleri yapılır. Bu tarihten itibaren başlayan şehirleşme ve imar hareketleri, son 1999 yılından itibaren daha da hız kazanır. 2008 yılından itibaren de Kutludüğün ve Bayındır beldelerinin ilçeye katılması ile bugün 65 mahalleden oluşan ilçemiz, 28.922 hektarlık bir mücavir alana sahip olup, başkent Ankara’mızın modern, yaşanabilir bir ilçesi olma yolunda emin ve kararlı adımlarla ilerlemektedir.
