This boy was about 8-years old when I took the image. He could not even write his name, I suppose that is the result of being a street child ... I was happy to see him pick the pen up - very enthusiatically - to try and write ...
heartwarming
When images tell a story, they become iconic.
Sometimes, as a viewer, you don't know what that story is. Like this one.
But when you do, the picture is immediately better. Because of the context.
Strange that ...
true that Daz.
makes me wonder 'bout those thousand words in a photograph.
:-)
You know, I think of my early years. I learnt to write on the floor under a tree. There were not enough classrooms and books. Thanx for the memories.
funny, in 2006, on the very same location i did a photography workshop with homeless boys...

Very True Daz!!! Captured!
