Best of the Week: Born into Brothels

The thought of these young children being raised and slaved is mind blowing and heart shattering.
Just because their mothers and fathers CHOSE this lifestyle, it should not depend on these people to 
decide if the children live there or not. They deserve a life of freedom and education and LIFE. 
And believe me, I'm not saying they have to move here to America to enjoy life, but they need to be 
taken out of there. Which is why our discussion about Kids with Cameras is such an important inspiration
in my life now. These children have/had no proper way of relieving stress, or even being a kid! 
Now with this Kids with Cameras program, they can let out their feelings by controlling what picture 
they take and of who/what. After watching this documentary, I noticed that I liked and understood their
pictures more than I do/would any other adult photographers. That to me is mind blowing! 
These children don't take time to plan out each and every shot, which makes these pictures so much more 
real than the ones that are planned. I can relate more to these kids pictures than others. I now am interested
in working with these kinds of children and I look forward to pursuing these programs.
