A Burmese boy playing. Being in the urban for too long makes me amazed at these kids and their resourcefulness. They use planks, tyres, and whatever that they can find to play, while we still take too much for granted.
He looks so happy!!!

I agree with you 100%. photo is great, message is loud and clear for the materialistic world!

@Dimitrios: yes. some of the children were playing with HUGE bugs and beetles (which, seriously, will scare the hell out of urban kids), and they'd pick the sweetest-smelling flowers along the way for us. it's as though they know nature like we know the latest electronic gadgets. amazing.
what a beautiful celebration of innocence and play! enjoying your portraits of children...they are excellent!
