I think she was 2 years old when the photo was taken. A little girl standing in front of her older sister. She displayed tear-stained cheeks and the most oversized clothes on wear. What's up with that anyway, African, or is it Kenyan children- being overdressed almost always. It is not exactly flattering. The little girl looked more of a boy-child. Her head was shaven and she had perky ears. I wonder why she was crying. Could the click of the camera be the reason for her being frightened? Her sister stands behind her, not stand- holds her from behind. Could she be falling? I don't think so, she looks old enough to stand on her own. I had a conversation with the little girl's mother. She said the kid was fearful of so many things. The reason for the tears was that, the poor girl thought that the flash was like an ass whooping. That scared her, moving her to tears. Oh, what innocence. What catches my eye the most is the little pink, or is it purple, flower on the girl'...
