Waiting

The informal shopping sector in Addis Abeba plays an important role

in the city's financial life. After hours, this boy waits in a

shopping stall to be taken home. Comments and ratings are

appreciated. Thanks for viewing.

why it is a news photo? i can't get it, AS De Beer. i find it a nice children photo. and a remamrkable one as well. his face is well-captured. please answer me, and thanks for sharing.

Hi Hani, thanks for viewing! I think the picture should be seen in context of the short piece of info I have given with the picture. It is incredible to see how the people of Addis Ababa are working to make things work. Almost next to this pix spot on an informal market street, is a steel and glass high rise building going up.... with scaffolding made from timber. It is an example of how First and Third World economies meet, which to my mind, is newsworthy.

in the "Rate Recent" page, the photographer note is not shown. that's why i didn't read your note and then i wrote you my comment. but now, it is clear. moreover, i like the news photos when they don't express the whole story. i prefer it when it works with the story to create the message. and your photo really did it amazingly. thanks for your reply and for sharing.
