There was a distant caution on this child’s face, peering out at me from the back seat of a van being hauled across the Mekong River on a ferryboat. However just as important as the face is the reflection that descends over the image from the top. The child is already peering out from behind a curtain. The reflection adds a secondary curtain that suggests his isolation from the outside world. He appears somewhat sad and very vulnerable –we were used to getting big smiles and “V” signs flashed at us by Vietnamese kids, yet this young boy never altered his cautious demeanor.
