This is a child that was so sweet, but so horribly poor. She, her older sister, and mom were residents at a homeless shelter for a few days . Taken in Athens, Georgia. Tmax film ASA 400, printed on Ilford Fiber Paper. Toned by P/S.
Poor little thing. Very touching photo. Pretty heartbreaking. Makes me want to take her home, but we already adopted a baby out of foster care just a few years ago. Wish I were younger; I'd take on a housefull. p.s. Thanks for the tip about the eyes. I didn't know that. I'll try it and see if it makes a difference. Any tips you have are welcome!
i want to bring her home and give her muffins and hugs.... beautiful and thoughtful capture...
when the night fell she was not sure of anything but that she was cold
so she huddled close to what she could... and at the time it was not much... but something was there further than she could even see... and it watched her protecting the essance of who she was... protecting her her,,,
