Photographers Narrative

 

This photo is from a patrol with the Zabul Provincial Reconstruction Team to visit with village elders in Afghanistan. The children within the village were fascinated by our presence. The beautiful light on this child drew me to take this photo and his eyes seem to tell a story of hope.
