Fire and flowers

Posted by Natalia (Kabul, Afghanistan) on 28 June 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Boy, a baker's apprentice, is tending a fire. He is holding a flower in his mouth. In this part of the world, people love flowers, and often they would hold a flowers in their hand, just to smell it once in a while. Because of many years of war, most people are still poor and don't have much luxuries. So, perhaps, a flower would be for them as something special; something to treasure.
