[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was walking in a little village at the high plains of Peru, near Juliaca. I was with my wife but what I was really looking for is a restroom, when I saw this little boy and an older girl by their front door. While holding my camera, I spoke in my halting Spanish I asked the boy, "Donde esta bano? Habla Ingles? He just gave me that puzzled look on his face and a creased forehead. For half a minute the boy just looked at me! So I took his picture. Then the older girl opened the door wider and said, "Ahyeeh" then pointed inside towards a room. I said "Gracias" and went straight to the room. Mission accomplished!

That my friends is the story behind this picture.

"I will be leaving for the Philippines on January 23, 2009 and will be back on February 28, 2009."

It's good to see a photo with a story behind this shot.
This i like a documentay picture, like a photojournalist.
I always see this kind of picture in my brother gallery because he is a profesional photojournalist.
Mostly he shot like this, and sometimes he was sent to World Press Photography for nomination.

This is Great shot..Andre..
We'll done..
