I know, I know. Why doesn't she brush the fly's away? I've had that reaction
to this photo numerous times. The truth of the matter is, it isn't worth it.
The old town of Mut was infested with flies. You swipe at
them and ten more land where you moved one. One reason I can think of, is
because the streets look like this. I gotta admit though, you do get used to them, the flies I mean.

Taken in Mut, Dakhla Oasis, Egypt.

A couple more cute kids:

I find it strange there are no flies on her clothing...I have horses and the flies tend to land more on our clothing and legs than face and never have I had flies land on me like this. does not look real

The little stuff that drives us insane. She has obviously got used to it. I have seen this in pictures of starvation from Africa but always attributed it to the state the subject was in, she on the other hand looks happy and well fed.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph!!!!!! Crymany! I saw the thumbnail and thought oh nice portrait of a cute lill girl. DAMN! No John I would not get used to it, I would go fucking insane. This photo is unreal and amazing, I'm almost speachless. It's so disturbing on so many levels. Not just a cute lill girl, but a cut girl with a fantastic smile, and bugs in her teath. Wow. I just can't believe it, but a big V on this one, I don't think I could have taken it.
