Z

"Z" is one of the little Grade Ones at the school I've been teaching at in Madagascar. She's the cutest knock-kneed gangly child; shy with an impish smile. Throughout summer she would come to school in the most out of place clodhopper-like boots. At first she was incredibly wary at the site of a camera, but in time she warmed up to it and developed into one of my most photogenic subjects.

I'm not the most patient of people (I am a bachelor; I'm not sure if that has something to do with it) and kids sometimes just drive me mad. But the last two years at Vision Valley have been an absolutely blessing. I wouldn't have changed a thing...

  1. She's a gorgeous little sweetie and I love her boots. She's a stylish one.

    Kids sure do teach us a lot about ourselves, don't they? :)

  2. I am highly impatient too although being with kids 24/7 I have ample opportunity to work on it...
