- Description:
- A big group of young boys posed outside, some mugging for the camera. There are about 40 boys, most look to be between 10 and 15, mostly light skinned, in grimy work clothes on bare land outside of a corrugated metal building with a big window flap cut into it. Most of the boys are looking directly into the camera, but some seem to be talking to one another. On the far left an older boy sits on the shoulders of two of his peers with a grin, and near him a boy is a smear of motion blur as he crouches down. In the foreground on the right is a man with drooping moustaches looking with wide eyes into the camera next to two boys sitting huddled together on the ground. The right edge of the image is entirely black in an uneven shape.
- Notes:
- Matted gelatin silver print.
