She seems to be getting nourishment. Her face looks fuller in the latter pic. If somebody hosed the dirt off her face and hit her with some Oil of Olay, she wouldn't look so old.

And I suppose the older you get, the more often you are mistaken for Russell Crowe, right? Some people age better than others.
To: ThePythonicCow
In her pic on the left those are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Striking.

If you take a look at anyone without their hair being visible, it can be difficult to determine age (Remember the Nuns, if you had that experience many years ago). IMO she looks to be 30ish, then again she has had a hard life in a hard country.
As for the nose, the perspective of the camera is slightly different, enough to hide the nose shape in the older photo.

I'm with you, HLL. Where did all these beer-gut-knuckle-draggers come from today? This woman is STILL beautiful. Her face is fairly unlined, and behind the sadness, there is a strength that cannot be denied. To all of you on this thread who are putting down this lady AND National Geographic: get a life!
To: ThePythonicCow
I don't see why her face is any diffent than it was before other than the age. Her expression as a child was a blank one and the recent picture seems like she's frowning. What did anyone think she would look like? Makeup and a hairstyled mane of hair? Too bad the photographer tried to duplicate the photo. He tried to duplicate her expression and failed.

Nasty. A girl can change a lot in 15 years. That is why you should always check out their mothers before you marry themAbsolutely sage advice.
I remember dating a really lovely girl and then meeting her mother when I was invited over for dinner. The mother's rear-end was the size of a couple of pallets. It was freakish. So I went fishing in deeper seas. When I ran into the girl just three years later, she had the same affliction as her mother.
Phew!

Now you are getting me in a fighting mood. I will anwer you and then, I will smash my computer.
Do you think we can not find bin Laden, or sheik Omar, or any of these bastereds because they are smart? I think because of all the Afghanis hiding them and protecting them from the infidels, the Americans. If you don't start learning to hate the Moslems, you are just fooling yourself.

Cartilege grows throughout life. Ever see a baby with a big beak?

"And I suppose the older you get, the more often you are mistaken for Russell Crowe, right?" I'm very familiar with the girl in the picture but, who is Russell Crowe?

Actually, give her face a scrub and a Western makeover, and she would probably be judged a knockout.
How many 30-year-old women look that nice without makeup?
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
that is the most famous National Geographic cover in history.
The NG cover that I recall most vividly is the hologram of Lucy's skull, the first hologram presented in a widly distributed publication.
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
The Afghans are not a worthless people. They are grateful that we are there. Dear, did you happen to see the news footage of the 'starving refugees' feeding the humanitarian food packages we dropped in the camps to their Freaking DONKEYS??????
Worthless doesn't begin to describe them. Sub-human does.

Gula got married shortly after McCurry first saw her and had four daughters.
What? No Sons? I thought they killed women for less.

Giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "I will survive." Or at least a meaning that most Americans are unfamiliar with, as illustrated by the national hysteria generated by a few natural-causes dead bodies in an uncrematorium.
To: philosofy123
Err...
I don't remember either fashion or religion as being the cause for our entry into Afganistan this time.
I think I'd be quite happy with letting them dress and worship any way they please so long as they avoid murdering my countrymen or attacking our national well being.
We need to hope that the lady's own children will suffer less and we should let them try to work out their problems, hopefully peacefully, without making ethnocentric demands.
