Her little home is built on stilts, her bed is a mattress on the floor, her feet are bare, her dreams are of faraway places, her toy is a red balloon, she holds on to it for dear life…

Your words and this image are quite powerful indeed.
Powerful stuff! Adrian
Great shot Mimo………VERY effective.
I think this is one of your best photos (so far)…I love the colors and the way her big eyes shine amongst the dreary.
Beautiful, Mimo – the dark rich colors, the iight on her face – complex and compelling.
Fabulous child portrait!!! thanks for sharing Nonoy Manga
Very clever use of light.. powerful stuff as ever Mimo..

We should feel lucky with whatever we have, and at the same time do something for those who needs a better future. A very good picture, Mimo, but she is a sad girl, at least at that moment.
What a beautiful picture. She is an angel.
in context with the photograph and the simplicity of it…my wife recently visited a home of what a market research person would term low income group. She was taken aback with the ‘smallness’ of their house, with almost everything except for a bath in one small room…and yet during her interview, she realized how content the family was. When I heard her experience, I told her that people should consider themselves lucky with whatever they have, and most hold onto their most precious moments rather than chasing other people’s dreams! I am sure that the girl cherishes this lone friend of hers…
powerful image…the light in this image is captivating.
