The happiest girl in Phnom Penh

The happiest girl in Phnom Penh

Today something different than my recent postings - a bit of happiness...
A girl living in a "poor people village" - that's how my moto driver called this place - in Phnom Penh, near the Russian Embassy. She was with a bunch of kids running around me all the time, she was so happy when I took a picture with her, happiness just radiated from her... wonderful moment.

Contagious smile. A true feeling coming out of the picture.

this should be a lesson to us all. happiness isn't about money or material possessions or the fancy house we live in...

Then again "Howlin Wolf" sings,

"I asked her for water ,,,,,
she brought me GASOLINE"

I totally agree with yippee1999's comment. Anyway, good capture and nice details.

I find this photo actually sad, as underneath the (fleeting?) smile, I sense an underlying sadness. And in a way, she has the face of a 70-year old woman.

Beautifully captured!
