Comment by posthumous:
I love these kids. I love how they refuse to merely make a point, they refuse to pretend that you aren't there or pretend that you represent something more than yourself and they must appeal to that. Instead, they treat you as a human being who happens to be holding a camera. And that is how I must consider them. I adore them, just as people should adore each other. The child in the middle is of course beautiful, and smiling sincerly, almost giddily. The child to her right is frozen in a state of pure joyous laughter. The child to her left has an expression that would have worked for a typical Save the Children poster, but in the context of this photograph we know is just a typical child's curiosity. Or is it? These children, human as they are, are not typical, at least not the typical of my world. Humanity in inhuman situations. It makes me want to stop invading, stop warring, stop terrorizing, stop incurring. All this from one photograph.

What a beautiful expression the girl in the middle has on her face. Lovely shot. One of my favorites on this site by far.

A sight that should bring armistice and peace. Yet it is at such a young age, especially in boys, that thoughts of war are born. There is no glory in war. 8.
