About
This picture was taken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and this sight was an extremely common one. There are so many babies there taking care of babies....
Melanie, I took a look at your bio, and you have such a great portfolio! I love photographing children, and you have some beautiful children! This photo really melts my heart as well. I took a trip to africa not knowing what to expect and this photo truly captures the deep sadness that so many of the people, especially the children, live through every day. On the other side of this, there is immense joy there that i never could have imagined. The children's faces and their eyes especially made an enormous impact on me and are something that i will never forget.
This is incredibley beautiful to me! It's hard to explain, but just looking at it just melts my heart ) Really wonderful shot! I'm adding it to my favorites!
After reading your bio, I think we have some things in common ;o)
Mary, it's a pity to see a picture like that with just a comment. this is a strongly emotive shot that gives the feeling how people lives there. since this is a journalistic picture, I believe ithat in b/w it is even more emotive.
It tells the story of the hardship so well here. Light is a little difficult as the children on my monitor have lost detail in the face. Captures the mood perfectly though.
