The Family Meal by Ryszard Wierzbicki
Walking the narrow streets of the Smokey Mountain suburbs with my taxi driver as our guide, we looked into local homes. Wherever possible, we looked inside. It is customary to always ask for permission to take a picture. Usually, a simple gesture at the camera, a questioning look, and an OK hand gesture is enough. This family was eating a meal. We had a small dessert for the kids.
My Boy by Ryszard Wierzbicki
The greatest treasure and pride of people in extreme poverty are children. The difficult financial situation of the family leads to many sacrifices and placing hope for the future in offspring. In this photo, a proud father shows his son in the window as his pride and hope for a better tomorrow.
Bee by Olga Kulemina
Sometimes, people choose something according to the appearance of things only. They forget about the true filling inside events, things, and persons. But the little bee in this picture knows that this common pink flower with huge protected thorns can bring sweet delicious nectar for those who trust to their open hearts.
