Experimenting Night Photos

So these are two little girls from the Hacienda Orphanage in Tijuana Mexico. This orphanage is not a good place. It breaks my heart every time I go there. But what is amazing are this children and how happy they are. The Girl against the fence is very young, I would say 2-3. I had meet this girl a year ago and when she was 1 she had some sort of infection in her right eye. I remember her crying so hard and us just holding her for hours trying to get her to stop. At one point I had been holding her for about an hour and I had gotten her to stop crying. I handed her off to a friend Brandon and withing 10 seconds she trough up all over him! Perfect Timing! What's sad is that the fence she is looking out of in this picture is a gate to her room. The toddlers are kept in this small room with no windows to look outside. They are kept there all day but sometimes they open the door and let the kids look out a gate to watch the older kids play. So sad that this girl is that old and hasn't ran outside and played more then maybe once or twice in her life. The girl below is a little older, i would say 5-7 range. She was always wanting her picture taken. I have about 50 of just her. She has a little Pocahontas in her.

Happiness

This is Jasmine. She can be found painting nails one minute then the next in a fist fight with the boys. She can go from cute little girl to tough tomboy in seconds. What I loved about this girl is the way she showed her love towards people. Every morning when I would see her she would run into my arms and give me a 5 minute hug. Jasmine spent most of her time in the arms of friends as she hugged and cuddled in 100 degree weather. She is also very defensive of people she likes. She would slap peoples hands away if they came near the person she was with. One thing I learned from this girl is that when a child laughs, that is the best time to take a picture. That's my quote "When a child laughs, open the shutter"

Qianna

I would like you to introduce you to a friend of mine named Qianna. You have never meet so much personality. This picture does her no justice. I keep in close contact with her and she can talk with the best of them. She is the most photogenic child i have ever meet. Every picture she gets in turns out cute. Please keep her in your prayers. She lives on 21st in Washington DC and sees things every night that no 8 year old should see.
