Photographer’s Note

I came across this little mechanic on the outskirts of Lahore's Old Town. Unfortunately, child labour is often still a fact of life on the subcontinent.

Hi Rino!
This is a good composition. He has the expression of a grown up already. Unfortunately, most part of these children don't ever know childhood.

That's an impressive picture: children working are a sad reality for our times. Here you captured it well remind us a sad situation. Good documentary world.

Hi Ryno,
You have framed this photo well showing the child and his work with excellent focus and detail. This beautiful child has the air of an experienced mechanic. In some ways, his opportunity to learn a trade doesn't seem nearly so sad to me as photos of child beggars and/or prostitutes. Your gallery covers so many areas that I was interested to read your introductory note to see how you travelled.
Regards, Pat

Excellent shot to show the child labor still often seen in these small companies, as long they could go to school it is no problem for them.
Well captured, his shy expression like he felt almost guilty, they are often shouted at.

i like this kind of photos.you show how "ingenious" are the children in this kind of country.
