what's the story behind behind the expression?
I worked on child trafficking a couple of years ago in Cambodia... and I met a lot of children with similar expressions :( and they've stayed with me. What's her story?
Another photographer and I spent at least 20 minutes photographing her, she never spoke, she never made a sound. I will probably never know what she was feeling that day, but I (and Vanna) have seen that look before...it's usually in the eyes of people who have been through something horrific, perhaps abuse or the recent loss of someone dear to them.
me too.
Hi Mike, I just saw your comment come in. This is the girl who's on your business card correct? I will never forget her....I wonder how she's doing now.
I looked for her and her sisters last time I was there, but couldn't find them. Sometimes I like to think she was just upset with her big sisters for having to wait for them, but when I look in her eyes, I can't help but feel it's something deeper--something too tragic for words.
I was happy to see your blog--the words and images go together so well.
thanks for the nice comment Mike, I really appreciate it.
in terms of the girl...I would like to think she was just upset, but, like you, I fear it was something really deep.
Maybe I can find her this year when I go to Angkor...I'll take a copy of her photo with me.
I remember this girl and the photo (and Mike's as well).
I think this is why we take photos, no word could ever describe this little girl with that power and emotion...
i like dis picture
