About A dedication for the children of my country... who have to start working very early.. to help their families to survive.

Like that girl from previous photos - Daniela - this boy sells shells to tourists at a small beach in Santa Catarina island, nearby Florianópolis.

The original of this, and a lot of my photos... are definitely lost.... yes... I had a personal "tsunami" with my PC - again ! - on Christmas evening!!!!!!!!!!
That?s the reason I didn?t answer your messages yet.
It was saved in my multiply?s album (carmem.multiply.com).. and next days, I?m going to upload some photos that are in other sites...

Thank you all for your kind words!!

Carmen querida amiga , feliz navidad!!! excelente fotografía y bella dedicación a los niños trabajadores, ellos tienen mucho que enseñar a muchos adultos que creen que lo saben todo.
Lamento lo de tu PC tal vez sea un virus , pues hay uno que se activa a las 12 de la noche del día de navidad, creo que se llama Xmas tree.
recibe un fuerte abrazo de Betty y mios y espero que vayas a zambar muito en año nuevo
Dios te bendiga querida amiga

Eu gostei da foto pelo Grafismo que ela gera. Há uma sequência visual na foto.

Parabéns! ;]


Marcus Armani   {K:36597} 12/30/2004
wonderful shot, I like the different tones and textures of the shells, very good perspective.. very well done.....

"Nice to have you back kid!"
Bela foto, criatividade é tudo...
Atualmente eu trabalho com todos os programas de meu computador em um HD e JAMAIS salvo qualquer dado nele (salvo sempre um segundo HD de 120MB).
Se der pau, simplesmente formato e continuo com tudo gravado no outro drive. Apenas uma idéia.
Um super abraço.
Sergio.

Hello Carmem
At first, I thought this image would be about a board game that children play with shells. How terribly sad that the world's children have to work to help with financial income. They will never get to know what being a child is really all about. In South Africa this is the case as well and no matter how hard the government try to eradicate it, it will always happen.

About your image - I love the flesh tones and the crop is great.

Sorry to hear about your PC crash, I almost had it happen but luckily Robert could save all my data!

Keep well
Linn

Fantástica imagem! Feliz Ano Novo para você e os seus! Um 2005 de muitas fotos, tão ou mais belas do que esta.


Ozjan Yeshar   {K:18661} 12/30/2004
Very sad fact around the world - It is a great shame to steal the childhood of those kids that early. I believe this practice is not existing only in Brazil but it unfortunately travel farther than that. I like the shot and perspective though. Cheers my dear friend


Claudia Sachs   {K:1467} 12/30/2004
Linda, como sempre! Vc tem otimas maneiras de fotografar o universo! Parabens.
Um beijo enorme
Claudia

Sempre belas as suas composições. Esta com a força dinâmica das diagonais e a sensibilidade de captar momentos particulares. Continuo e continuarei admirador!

Lovely photo Carmem, brings back memories of my childhood as I used to collect semi-precious gemstones from travels .... I still have a rock tumbler lol

Best wishes for 2005, hope the PC gets sorted soon.

Best wishes,
Steve

I?m late too, but I have a million things to do and so few time... This is a beautiful photo and great message too, above all in this sad moment, it makes me think to the unlucky Asian children. Thank you for your visit. Hugs, Max

Oi, Carmen. No momento eu não estou postando nada pois não tenho fotos legais para postar. Pretendo começar um novo projeto aqui no UF. Estou um pouco de saco cheio das fotografias aqui postadas. As pessoas gostam apenas de mostrar o lado bonito do mundo, esquecendo-se de q a fotografia não serve apenas para mostrar belos traços ou paisagens bonitinhas. Pretendo colocar algo bem forte. Estou juntando um $$$rinho para comprar uma digital compacta e começar esse projeto.

Um abraço e um feliz doismile5 pra vc...

Hi Carmem,

Ahhh, this picture sure tells a story. (Actually, I could probably think of several stories.)

I like this, and I'm sure you made someone very proud as you photographed these treasures!

A nicely displayed image,
Lori :)

ps....oh sooo sorry to hear about lost files, I HATE when that happens. I now have an external hard drive and all my photos go directly onto it, not the computer hard drive. And I save them also on CD or DVD'S.

Great story behind this image very touching subject,,Viva globalization :) superb.Saeed


Kristina Kohut   {K:49990} 1/7/2005
Nice documentation, Carmem! Oooh... that wasn't funny about the PC crash... perhaps you should always save copies to CD?


Orazio Minnella   {K:48355} 1/8/2005

Oi, Carmem!
Você me mostrou esta antes de postar, e não sei como ela escapou aqui sem que eu a visse no site... :O
Realmente esta imagem conta estórias tantas, que eu poderia ficar horas aqui imaginando... Sua interpretação foi brilhante, e o título, que já sugere uma das interpretações.
Parabéns, amiga. Belíssimo trabalho. :) (7)

Um abraço,
Márcia.
