After all the (unfair) criticism that Sebastiao Salgado received for his Refugee Children book and exhibition, I don't feel that comfortable exhibiting pictures of children. This one I took in Peru over 2 years ago, and for that same reason, I still haven't publish it.
Innocence is lost forever it seems. At least in the eyes of way too many beholders. Fortunately not in the smiles of these charming little Inca girls.

Beautiful photograph Rafael. You are right about the loss of innocence. I have seen the terrorized, angry look on the face of many Australian parents when any tourist tries to capture their kids on camera. You can't blame them - there is much misuse that goes around.
Thanks Madhuri!
I know... but it's so sad.
Nowadays in the US and many parts in Europe, it's almost a crime to take a picture on public places.
When did we become so selfaware of our image?
