Little Red Riding Hood
Peru, somewhere near Pisac 2003
I’ve been thinking of this shot for ages and finally got around to scanning it again. I love this little girl. She is dressed like an adult with her felt hat called a “montera”. She carries her burden in her shawl just as her mother would. She walking rapidly, her body at a slight forward tilt, unaware of my lens following her.
Quechua Girl
But then she senses that she is not alone. She looks back. And I see her beautiful little face. I don’t think she was afraid as I was standing with a Quechua family. Don’t you love her?
