First of all, forgive me for my bad english...

Motivation: I live with my camera. And I'm doing this 'cause I don't want to miss every little moment that happen around me.
Life is always around us: you just need a camera and your eyes.

I was coming back home when I accidentally found myself in the middle of a sit-in for the elimination of domestic violence against women.
I started shooting the only roll I had in my camera when, in the middle of this screaming female crowd, I saw a little girl near his mother.
She was quite scared 'cause her mother was screaming into a megaphone; at a moment her mother lowered herself to the ground to calm her daughter and spoke something to her.
She heard her voice and she calmed down. Then she found me in this crowd around with a camera in my hands .. and I took this picture.


Where: Rome, Italy
When: 25th November 2006

don't be scared by *mojofleur I remember this from the contest as it made it to the "final-fifteen-or-so" ... and thought it should have some more exposure! Not literally, of course, but in general. ;) Bravo, mate, bravo! ( Featured by `cweeks )

The little girl doesn't look scared in the photo, though. To me her eyes are wide open and bright with intelligence like she's surveying the scene...and looking right at you when you took the shot.

She was scared till her mother lowered herself to the ground to calm her.

Beautiful picture. There are so many things going on at once but you captured this perfect moment between you and the little girl. I love it.
