2 comments about “Work, Struggle, Joy”

  1. Scott M. Grossman says:

    The innocence of children’s lives and how one unstaged moment of time is captured in each picture, reflects the emotion and sensitivity of the photographer. I enjoyed these pictures very much. Scott

  2. Peter says:

    As an American, these images are not only striking because of composition but because of content. I literally get a snapshot of another world’s realization of “childhood”: Child labor, children with religious disciplines and occupations, homeless children, children paddling down a river! There is certainly some degree of this in the US, but, in this series of photos, these concepts seem so much more quotidian.
