18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Ancient Childhood

These kids, dressed like that, are meant to be photographed by tourists, but always for a small price. I didn't know. I saw them laughing and playing, making this very natural and relaxing moment. Each kid inside their own minds, and the mother - in the first foreground - asking them to get ready for another photosession for a group of tourists.
