Boy Washing A Container

Shot in the city of Thanlyin, Myanmar.

Strolling around the residential area, I met a boy who wore a colorful polo shirt. He cowered beside his mother I took some photos just before. Unlike his mother, he didn't paint Thanaka on his face. He might think it was unnecessary to wear sunscreen. He just lent a hand with household chores there.

A plastic container was placed in front of him. And he was just washing it with dish detergent. Washing in a careful manner, the container was riddled with foams. Because he did the dishes in front of his house, it seemed to have no water place inside.

To adjust the level of his eyesight, I also crouched down. And I focused on his face. He looked at my camera unenthusiastically. However, he smiled faintly.
