I was searching for some photojournalism photos on Google and I came across the one above, it captured my complete attention among all the other pictures. I wasn't able to get the area where the picture was captured from, however; a brief caption at the bottom said: "transportation to school with the canoe." I realized how these people or children are using an antique traditional boat as a transportation method without the slightest fear. The canoe is literally 1 cm away from sinking into the ocean. Having said that the kids are going to school, imagine the poverty they're suffering from since none of them are wearing clothes. It's a really sad picture, but makes you realize the blissful life we are living.
hey!
ReplyDeleteI personally didn't see this picture as sad, but more as a difference between cultures; and your comment of it actually made me laugh :p.
Very strong picture. It shows how they are unwhiling to give up rather continue their education trhough all this poverty.
ReplyDeleteWell Picked Photo.
Powerful, though I saw more happiness in this photo than sadness. I think we are the ones who are sad, even though we have everything, they have much more than we do, which is the fire of life in all simplicity.
