A Hopeful Look

Uploaded: August 13, 2007 00:00:25

Description

I’ve the same image in B/W in my gallery. This is my little niece again. Picture was taken last year in the Philippines. She wanted to join me on my trip to Hong Kong and she gave me that sad puppy look that was heart breaking. Jennifer, this is the image I was taking about.
