Burmas Children

Burmas Children

Following our noses to Hsipaws famous popcorn factory, we hear giggled “I love you”s from the side of the road…turning we see nothing, hearing only excited giggles.. we walk on, following a delicious, hearty smell only to again hear a “hello.. hello” this time we quickly spin to hear a small child squeal and run off to her friends, hiding behind a bamboo fence enclosing their village..

We wandered over and they giggled with excitement.. most of the children would have been under 8 years old, there was one girl who was a bit older and could speak very basic English..

The smaller children jostled for a photo, what strikes me is the intense look of anticipation on their faces… most all the shots we took show a similar expression.. the little girl with the straw hat was quieter and smaller and only approached us when we were leaving.. I hadn’t taken her photo yet..
Technically the photo is very flawed.. it’s blown out and full of shadows but it’s such a beautiful expression that I just did what I could to present it…
