Artist's Comments
A very painfull picture that I caught on the montain's villages of north Thailand. The people that live in these villages are very poor.
We were driving with our jeeps in the roads of the village, and before we got there, we baught some candies to give the childrens in the village.
Every child that saw us was so happy and took the candy right away. Every father or a mother that saw us called his child to come quickly and take the candy.
But when I saw this old woman with this baby, she, like all the parents, immediately held the baby infront of us, so we'll give him his candy. But as the baby looks like, is he really on the first priority...? Or they don't have a choice?
the boy looks well fed and healthy. These people in the villages might be poor and live a hard life with few possessions, but family is everything to them. I think the woman is probably proud that you would come to Thailand and want to give them something.
I guess he's at a certain age and with the heat the grandmother doesn't use nappies, but I agree seeing you there you would think they'd cover him up. I know I wouldn't want people taking pictures of my children like this.
an amazing shot... ....I wish I could travel to help and aid people just like this.. diapers, even cloth, would have made a wonderful gift Im sure.. God Bless Us All

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
