portraits of kids, Ethiopia trip
as i said in my posts before, kids were everywhere and they knew to find us and to stand around and to watch carefully what we were doing. yes – their poorness was obvious, but they looked absolutely HAPPY ! our talent to compare everything with the world that we built around us, sometimes leads us to a dead end in our thoughts. one, having “nothing”, can be much more happy than another one having everything.
enjoy the moments and portraits :
Thank you…
Excellent series!
Thank you Harri !
Wonderful portraits, Victor! Smile and the world smiles with you… Great work!
Absolutely right Malin ! Good morning and thank you
wonderful viewing these smiling children’s faces in the morning. they made me cheer-up. i agree what you said about having nothing and everything. it is a misunderstanding of western people that having things is connected with being happy.
Good morning Trill ! Thank you 😉
These again are so beautiful! Look at their smiles, how honest! You’re a master, Victor!!
They are just great models ;-))) thank you very much !!
Great series of portraits.
Wonderful series and so true that it is possible to be happy and not have what we possess. I have seen this in the favelas in Brazil. The more you have the more you worry about losing it.
Essential is to have enough to eat and a roof over your head. Someone said: “if you have to be poor, do so in a warm country”..some truth in that.
You’re right and this someone also. Thank you Paula for taking a look.
amazing
Completely in love with them. Such a gift to bring us their faces.
Thank you very much !
The most beautiful smiles and glances inocents! excellent series Victor !!
