[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
He works where he can, when he can. He sleeps along with his brother, on top of piles of recycled trash. He is proud he can speak a little English and count too! His mother washes floors in a school. They survive partly on the grace of others. He is helping to finish drums in a drum shop. He rubs the rock across the top black spot, till it is the perfect thickness. Hitting the drum for sound, determines when done.

Hi gloria

It's times like this, that you wish you had a magic wand, & could make all of the problems of the world go away. A superb photojournalistic shot, with good motion blur of the uncaring passers by. Tfs!

Hello Gloria. Excellent journalistic shot, the motion blur of the passers bye showing no interest in the plight of the Boy says so much. Thanks for sharing.

Regards Phil.

Hello Gloria,
Great POV and an excelent capture. The b/W work is superb and the composition sublim with a great balance between the legs of the boy and the three pair of legs walking out side in the street; and the three drums two in the ground the other with the kid. A lesson of composition and a winderful work.
Congrats, mb
