Bonsoir Patrick,
C'est avec beaucoup d'émotion que j'ai parcouru ta galerie. En cette veille de nouvel an, c'est pour moi un véritable électrochoc. Je suis extrêmement choqué, choqué mais pourtant merci. Merci de ce partage, merci de nous faire prendre conscience de la réalité de ces pays et de la souffrance de ces enfants.
J'accompagne tes vœux pour 2007.
Cordialement
TOny

It is shocking to see such an expression in a little child's face... a face that no doubt knows much, very much... eyes that have seen a lot.
A very moving tribute to this girl.
May she be happier in her adult years!
take care Howe,

A great portrait in classic B&W-style. Note in the composition how the picture is built up along the lower left to top right diagonal. starting at the hands and ending with the hair. Even the tilt of her head is along that line. Nice sidelight and a fine short DOF.

Strong and crude reality that sad sweet look transmits .If you tried to transmit something with your picture you ve got it despite i don t know well what s going on with my bowels , soul ...maybe that kid s look has throbbed into my entrails . Poweful picture and such a meaningful message . I wish she, that little angel, and all the children could soon smile , play and be happy as they deserved
The black and white works enhancing dramatism and expressionism . Also the lateral illumination contributes to add a delicate and tender touch to the portrait
Best wishes . Happy new year with all the best for you

Hello Patrick,
I think this is not only a picture of a small girl,it´s also a piece of documentary, regarding to other pictures of children you´ve made.Hoping we will give more attention to them
now and in the future.Great job!
Happy new year and saludos from Spain,Alberto

As said by yourself: Let's hope and help each other to make this world happy and peaceful to everyone.
Your portrait is SO strong - I cannot stop looking at it and at the same time I get a sad feeling inside.
Love and hope to this little girl.

It is very sad that she can bear an expression like that at such a young age--not entirely without hope, perhaps, but still defeated, before she has really left the starting gate. It's nice that there's the ray of light so strongly--that symbolizes the hope. Well done, artistically. Regards, Ken.

Hi Howe.
This is one of the most touching photos that I've seen in TE.
Is perfect.
Wonderful.
The light.
The little kid.
The black and white.
Her face and his eyes.
And they way as she look at us.
It goes to my favourites.
Regards.

Such a strong photo. Such a pained look in the eyes. It breaks the heart. I hope as you say, that it is hope in her eyes.. Thank you for sharing.
