Sunday 31 January 2010: hide and seek...
visited St Teresa's Tender Loving Care Home with the Aashayein Foundation. The facility was inside a church premises, that included hospital and a school as well. The orphanage was very well maintained - neat, clean and organized. The kids were a handful though...one of the girls was dressed up as a spider-woman and during our 2 hour stay, she changed her dress twice :) Kids love open spaces - they go crazy when their eyes can see unhindered distances...same was the case here...they were just running from corner to corner of the long gallery and empty rooms. Drawing room cupboards were just the ideal place to play a game of hide and seek with us...a very pleasant and spirited morning spent...more here :)

@farside - if that surprises you, you're in for a bigger surprise, unfortunately!
when I saw the notification for a new comment, I guessed it would be you with this particular comment.

Well, it makes me smile, but it does not surprise me at all that you guessed. :)

Well, spill the beans then.

#66 - "Generation contrast?" - yes super and incredibly poignant! The expressions are so revealing.
Also note, the monochrome - nothing excess, not unduly high contrast, etc, just perfect exposure too. No game-playing with light and so on. A brilliant photograph.
