Little Great Man!

Mohsen Bayramnejad

Little Great Man!

a very sad little boy! at the first moments, he even didnt look at me and I thought he scared of me… but after half an hour he was just OK with me, but always at this mood. he was really working and he didnt accept our help.
He was kinda “wonder for me!

    YOU KNOW THIS MORNING WHEN YOU UPLOADED THE OTHER PHOTO OF THIS GORGEOUS BOY, I WAS READY TO GO TO WORK AND DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO WRITE YOU. BUT JUST YESTERDAY I WAS WATCHING TV SHOW ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL CALLED ‘TABOO’ AND IT WAS ABOUT CHILDREN WORKING IN OUR HISTORY. AND WHEN I SAW THIS LITTLE ANGEL, I AM THINKING, BOY I AMERICA THIS IS TV SHOW, IN YOUR COUNTRY IT IS BRUTAL REALITY. MY HEART GOES TO YOU AND THIS LITTLE BOY, MY YOUR GOD GIVE YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS OF THIS WORLD, AND ALWAYS SMILE ON YOUR FACES AND SUNSHINE IN YOUR EYES. GOD BLESS YOU MOHSEN.

  • Mohsen Bayramn... replied

    • Xenia, Thanks for sharing your pure feelings..
      But, it is not that bad here in my country… if we think about Iraq, Afghanistan and some other African countries… oh, it hurts me even when thinking about them… and America have some REALLY really bad memories… but you know, as Karin said on the other photo, we are so lucky somehow.
      maybe thats because I want everything Ideal near me… I can feel the mood of these childs so sad…
      You know, it is just sad even when we’re just talking about this issue.. it is just as it is, who can help? how we can? not sure… I choose my career to photographing them… hopefully some’one will see these shots!
