Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

I was running to catch a train when I saw the slum just beyond the station railing. I saw this child sitting in the dirt, surrounded by mountains of garbage and smoke. I snapped the picture as quickly as I could, my heart breaking with every second that I stood there. This image made me think, ?How could the world be so cruel?? and ?Why him and not me? Did I deserve the life I led in America?? I will remember that moment forever.
