the snake charmer[/caption]
In Cambodia, like in many other developing countries on our planet, children find themselves needing to sell things, beg, wash car windows or do a multiple of other tasks for some extra money that could mean a meal for the day. It is always heartbreaking to see, no matter what country I was in to see children subjected to life's hardships at such a young age.
This little girl found another unique way to make a living, her own creative way. She became a snake charmer and she would let visitors to the floating village touch or go near her creature for a few coins. She had pride radiating from her and she knew she was just different. And she was!

Is that a snake?!
The eyes have me wandering between good and evil.
I love the angle of this Mimo. Perfect for the shot..
Wonderful photo – face by face – and the sepia tone finish is perfect for both subjects!
She is gorgeous! Wonderful shot Mimo!
