Popcorn

view map

The woman on the left has the "lead role", for lack of better wording, of the "Tea Ceremony",
which is a highly revered and touted Ethiopian tradition. I must admit, Ethiopia does have the
best coffee in Africa (that I've tried so far). I believe she is the mother of
the popcorn holding kid. The kid, well, just happy to have a handful of popcorn.

I liked this photo because of the differing views of the eyes. The "mother", looking
Lovingly and happily at the child. The child, looking at the camera.

If your looking for an excellent charity to give too, see the link for The Tara Centre
below. Kate is doing her best, spending her own money and doing the best I've ever seen
with other people's donations.

Taken at the The Tara Centre in Gonder, Ethiopia.

This is really a beautiful photo. I like the way you captured the "mothers" love and happiness, the child's curiosity, and the way he holds on to his popcorn's not wanting to drop a single one.
