PhotoHunt: Emotions
It’s PhotoHunt time once again.
I met this boy while I was doing my undergraduate thesis two years ago in a remote area in Rizal, about an hour away from Manila.
We had to walk up a slope and then cross streams and log bridges to get to where he lived. The area had no electricity and no running water. The main source of livelihood was farming, and most of the residents, including his parents, had no education.
I can’t quite put a finger on what he must be feeling when I took this shot. I just found him cute, looking up at me like that, while I was talking to the older people in the house. He seemed so innocent, so oblivious to what was happening.

wow, nice photo and post, it is sad that people live in these conditions in the 21st century.
The innocent eyes of a child are full of emotions! This photo says so much, it tugs at your heart.

Wow, great photo. I do wonder what he’s thinking.
