Photographer’s Note
I like Las Vegas is a magic place, and I spend a nice time there,I like the buiding, the food, the nigthlife and I really enjoy it visiti this place. However there is more than just gambling and nice places concerts, I would liek to show one example, this the tip of the iceberg:
UNICEF says the Internet has sparked enormous growth in child exploitation including through prostitution, pornography, sex tourism and trafficking, and by pedophiles using it to stalk children. According to the UK children’s charity National Children’s Homes, some 55% of the Internet child porn industry is based in the United States while Russia runs second at 23%. People from all over the world are accessing these sites. A US-based website was busted in 2001 which had a quarter of a million subscribers from 59 countries.
A feature article in Las Vegas CityLife looks at teens that run away in Las Vegas. Kids run from family conflicts. Some are kicked out by parents when they become pregnant or disclose their sexual orientation. Some want to get out of abusive situations. A local runaway can spend months living with friends, floating from one home to the next – an activity called couch-surfing. Last year 150 women under the age of 18 were arrested in Clark County on prostitution charges. http://www.ncjfcj.org/content/blogcategory/191/286/

Olá Elias, interessante nota acerca da exploração dos míudos e da maneira como eles usam o couch-surfing para irem sobrevivendo, coisa que eu não sabia de todo.
Quanto à imagem, parece mesmo um mundo de brincar enorme com todos esses torreões de castelo. O POV é excelente e gosto muito do grafismo da fachada à direita, assim como aquelas nuvens num céu muito bonito. Uma imagem muito bem conseguida.
Um abraço,
ricardo
