Hard to know sometimes what looms in a child's life (or an adult's sometimes) but it's a well taken capture that she might enjoy seeing in later life. Regards, Michael

Thanks shu. This was taken at a pre-wedding breakfast, in the kitchen of the bride's parents. Elli is a remarkably intelligent 6 year old, speaking Swedish with her father, English with me and native Thai with her mother. She's always happy and caring for her 7 year old brother and the babies in the village, but something was wrong on this day, no smiles and countless arguments with her mum. The arguments were in Thai and I didn't pick up what was wrong, probably something life-shattering like which dress she had to wear or which hair clip. But the bad mood lasted all day and I didn't see a smile from her until late afternoon when the wedding was over.
