NYT: Born Into Brothels kids photography show review

[wlewisiii]

For those of you who have heard of/seen the documentary "Born into Brothels" there is an article at the New York Times website about a show of the photography done by the children in the documentary. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/12/arts/design/12smit.html?hp

Just in case if you ever wondered if photography can change lives for the better...

Great documentary, it will inspire any photographer who sees it and remind them what is truely important about photography.

Absolutely wonderful. It fits photography into the world, rather than using it as a parsite. Even without the photogrphy connection it's extremely worthwhile.

Instead of thinking of these people as "Indians," and people from another world, consider what life is like for many in our own communities...it's not that much better.

My thanks for posting also and I agree some quite powerful images. It's amazing what the eyes of a child sees of the world around them. Maybe something some of us as adults should try to re-learn.

Quite a few good ones in that lot. Great color in this picture:

If we are picking shots I love this one, it has a timeless mystery to it 😉
