Wonderful portrait, Gena. The dark tones fit her mood. How come she didn't get a soccer ball, too? #1241612Mike Clime February 22, 2010
Terrific portrait! Her expression and the tear from her eye really tells a story! #8407394Gena A. Tussey February 22, 2010
Bonnie, apparently, little girls don't like to play with rubber balls in Peru but I think the image tells the truth. I had a work with the director of the group and went and got an extra ball off the bus for her and her sisters. In a village of probably 100+ there were appr. 78 balls flying around all over the place..it was a happy day after this shot. #8407472Gena A. Tussey February 22, 2010
