Childhood Days, a photo from Sikkim, Northeast

Photographer's Note

We live in that village! There on the other side of that hill! Our family has three goats... my Dad works in the millet fields. My Mom stays in the house, cooks lovely food and looks after the chickens, goats and my sister who is only two years old. I go to the forest everyday to get grass for our goats. If I go to school who will feed our goats?

Namaste Arijit.One day the wealth of the upper classes will filter down to these poor folk. maybe when the little one has children of his own. At first it looked as if he was playing a hide and seek game, but obviously he is carrying a load and for him there is no time to play. A thought provoking shot. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Arijit. A strong photo. It is the portrait of a working child. You have entered the scene really very subtle with the camera. Excellent. Regards, Wolfgang.
