Contemplation
This young Ugandan boy looks as if he is deep in thought. Note his shoes. Most Ugandan children do not own shoes, especially in out in the country areas. This was taken as we were driving through his village.
Contemplation belongs to the following groups:
Australian Portraits, Children-The Power of Raw Emotion , Street Photography and Photojournalism and The Human Condition Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters
