No smlles, Khajuraho, India, 2008

This child never smiled. She stares into my camera as if she has never seen one before. Most of the time, I found Indian children enthusiastically forcing themselves into my pictures. This child was a welcome exception. Crudely painted advertisements on worn walls bound the world she lives in. Yet she wears a white dress, which matches the white washed concrete beneath her.

I don't think she cares about bad hair or good hair or any hair. Her life is not an easy one. We can sense it in her expression. Thanks, Yves, for your observation.

Cute picture, kind of a bad hair day for the poor little girl... V!
