Wordless Wednesday 9/26/07

This is a picture of some kids I photographed in Ethiopia. This was taken in a small town south of Awassa, where another couple, Stacey and Eric, were meeting the surviving family of the two girls they were adopting. People in Ethiopia generally are very leery about getting their pictures taken. The children are an exception! Even kids who’ve never seen their picture before are natural posers!

   They really got into the spirit of it, didn’t they? Was it a digital camera? Could you show them the photo after?

   There is something about the smile of a child that is so refreshing. Those kids are just beautiful. These photos really capture their joy.
