Photo Story: Girl Child, THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP

 

#FD-91, Girl child, THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP, Mae Sot, Thailand, 2015

I walked the dump with my Rolleiflex looking for people to photograph. She sat next to her mother and had a quiet strength and intensity. Children in the dump grow up fast, they are required to babysit there younger brothers and sisters while their parents work. By 15 she will likely be married and starting her own family.
