In the heart of your deepest heart....

I hope that you had the same reaction to this image as I did. It's the strange mix of emotions... the feeling of pain, because she looks in pain, the feeling of sadness, that she has to go through this.. and the strange feeling of love that the lady is giving this girl...
It's a photo of a girl in Iraq... I don't know the story, but seeing photos like this,
is the reason why I am a photographer...

Some photos are very difficult to look at.
This is one of them. Imagine being there.
Wait.
That's the job of the photographer ...
to put someone else in his/her shoes and feel what they felt.
