"Take my snap!"

Posted by Tonfry (Chicago, United States) on 2 December 2006 in People & Portraits.

A snap is what Kenyan children call a picture. If they see a white person with a camera, they will begin to utter that phrase, one of the few but well used English sentences they know. This beautiful little girl was more polite and simply smiled my way. That was enough for me, so I took this picture of her and her father (grandfather?) and a local pastor that we were working with.
