Photographer’s Note

I just don't remember when this was taken, maybe somewhere around 2000? This wasn't taken on digital and was stuck in a sticky page of my albumn book so I couldn't remove it off and had to scan directly from the plastic film covering page. So the colours here are a bit weird but I still wanted to show you this for those lovely kids.

In this area had no electricity thus no water taps at home. Everybody went to a water well, it looked a Very tough job for kids but they had this bright smiles on their faces. They said HELLO to me and asked me to take a photo of them. Funny thing was that none of them asked me to send this photo, they were just pleased with being photographed by a foreigner.

interesting shot, I like the way you took this picture, very good daily life shot, but a posed one, but I like it

Hi Lauryn,
Quality wise not the greatest and possibly more cropping would emphasize those kids a little bit better.
You made those kids smile! great!
regards,
Krzysztof

Lauryn:
I am a novice in using Photoshop, but still want to make an attempt (I don't call it workshop) to save your valuable souvenir.

Hope it is close to what you had before being stuck in adhesive album.
