children of the philippines: smiles, strength and poverty

Manila, Philippines

living under a bridge this baby’s body covered in scabs and bites, comes out chewing on garbage

his sister tells me to take a picture of the cute baby (you can see the feet) and not the “ugly one” (the child pictured)

I wonder what will happen to him?

-Canon EOS Rebel XT, Tokina 11-16mm
