Actually ..... I'm in my living room ...with my notebook having a tea and eating cookies;..(breakfast)
You know.... this picture is amazing...and it fills me with a sense of kindness.
Due photography we can show this reality to our planet... due our cameras and of course, places like this. Where beautiful faces and terrific bodies are not needed to enter.
Africa... What else you need to say to imaging suffering, ...dead...but also beauty, jungle and wild life.
Do as much as you can, ...to keep this message going. If I could travel to Africa. I would. Here, my country suffers to, as many others, ...as you, I'll continue with this message, .... thanks for posting this image.
my best regards my friend.

Talking image again, Frans!
How do you always manage to make them say so much?
I almost can't believe that these few small black pieces of meat is what this kid is going to eat.
The look on his face is amazing.
Thanks for the image, because it helps bring people to reality.

Hola Frans,
Magnífica foto, con detalles excelentes,

saludos amigo

Hello Frans,
I love this strong portrait.
Sad note and again your talent to go towards people ...
I write this comment to you from Dakar, this photo could have been taken here.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Frans :o)
As in India, daily life is so hard in Africa. They don't have all they need but they are so great people, with a large heart full of love. Thanks for showing all over the world that it remains a lot of things to do so that equality reigns ! I worked for projects in Burkina Faso and I know they give us so much in return, so much love ...
Marylou
