Great job catching this. He's trying to smile but seems a little shy.

I don't think so. Halabja was bombed by Saddam Hussein in 1988, at which time he certainly wasn't even born. I was taking pictures of the ruins, and this boy just showed up and posed for pictures. He speaks Kurdish and I don't, so there were no words exchanged.

Powerful shot, Joshua. Were these ruins once his house?
