I was on a freelance trip in the mountains south of Lima, Peru. As I road into one of 10 villages of the Quechua people, there sitting in the midst of the town center was this child playing happily and somewhat surprised to see me. I later met the family and showed them this photo. They loved it. This particular trip occurred after the earthquake in 2007.

This is one of my favorites just in it's simplicity. Not just the framing of the photo but just a simpler time in life. I don't see simple as a bad thing. As I get older I strive to simplify my life more and more. Less baggage.

You receive all rights to this photo but I retain the use of it in my personal and professional life.
