Another way to eat cookies

This picture was taken in Ho CHi Minh City, Vietnam on a Sunday morning near the HCMC Opera House. This kid was seen running about without a care in the world while the people around was watching an open air cultural concert staged by a Vietnam symphony orchestra. A sad by-product of the Vietnam war?

touching. great lighting and composition.

I am not shure, but I think the boy is a bit to centered. However it's a good, but sad shot. I am shure you have seen similar stories in Cambodia.

the best?

Or most moving?

 

 

Very moving photo,

A touching scene. For all those who have everything, remember to

share your good fortunes with others who really need it.

Children appear to overcome physical problems with ease.

I saw a portfolio of Agent Orange victims like this young boy by one of the famed Magnum Photos shooters...look for it. They have search engine on their site that'll get it for you.

poor kid. :-(

Not sure about the composition but a strong shot all the same.

Agent Orange? Wasn't that made by monsanto, who are busy telling us about the wonders of genetic engineering etc..

This a very powerful and moving photograph. Beyond the emotion, I would have liked a tighter crop. Without your explanation, it is hard to get the full story as I couldn't recognize that he was eating a cookie.

Great photo taken at the right moment. A little young to be a Vietnam War victim though. ;)

Not really Jeffrey. It's the parent's gene which is affected which cause the thalidomite child to be borned.

Not really Jeffrey. It's the parent's gene which is affected which probably made him a thalidomite child.
