Sometimes people in developed countries believe children who live in poverty are a world away, leading a life vastly different from their own. Some of that is true, but despite circumstances, many parallels also exist — simply because we all were once children.<\/p>\n

Treasure from trash in Zambia<\/h2>\n

All 13-year-old Felix needed were some scrap pieces of wire, cardboard, and old wooden wheels. His imagination did the rest. This was evident as I saw him push his toy truck down a dirt road in Zambia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Felix had created something from “nothing ”—what others considered trash, Felix saw a six-wheeler truck.<\/p>\n

I wanted to show the motion of Felix’s movement to convey his energy and the possibility of his resourcefulness. So I chose a panning technique instead of freezing the action.<\/p>\n

The Zambian sun is bright—even at the end of the day, as it was here. I knocked the ISO down as low as it would go and increased my aperture until I got shutter speeds where I knew I would see motion blur.<\/p>\n

As Felix ran by, I swung the camera, following with him so he was in the same part of the frame the whole time. After each pass, I would run up ahead and wait for him. I did this three times.<\/p>\n

This was the only frame that showed the background in motion but kept Felix’s face and just enough of his truck in focus to be recognizable. In this, I see the ingenuity and creative potential in children all over the world.<\/p>\n

After the final pass, Felix waved goodbye and kept running off into the sunset.<\/p>\n

Tetherball in Bolivia<\/h2>\n
\"Children

As a child, I played tetherball nearly every day during school recess. My favorite part was trying to whip the ball around and around as it passed by my side of the pole. However, I was never very good. The other kids usually beat me, but it was still fun.<\/p>\n

So I had to smile when I stumbled across these children in Bolivia<\/a> playing a game I was so familiar with. The scene was a snapshot from my childhood, but it wasn’t on the blacktop of my suburban California school. It was in the back lot of a World Vision office, in a community nestled between the lush foothills surrounding Lake Corani in central Bolivia.<\/p>\n

No metal pole. No yellow ball. Just plastic bags — lots of them packed together at the end of a rope. And around and around it went, accompanied by lots of jumping and laughter.<\/p>\n

I try to look for scenes like this in every country I visit: everyday moments that anyone can connect to their own life.<\/p>\n

Hopscotch in Zambia<\/h2>\n

At first, some children are shy and need a little encouragement to come out of their shell.<\/p>\n

This was the case with Faith, an 8-year-old sponsored child in Zambia<\/a>. When I arrived at her home with my colleagues, she sat quietly and respectfully with her parents as they talked about their lives.<\/p>\n

My challenge photographically was how, in a limited amount of time, I might move from a formal interview setting to making an image that was natural, fun, and reflective of Faith’s life.<\/p>\n

I started by asking her to give me a tour of her home, just to get her talking about familiar things. She showed me where she washes dishes, and where and how they cook, then gave me a demonstration of their tippy tap, a hand-washing station.<\/p>\n

Somewhere along the way, I asked what games she likes to play. One game she mentioned was tag. Bingo. I put down my cameras and played tag with Faith and her sisters. While running around I noticed a set of lines dug into the ground. Curious, I asked her how to play this game. Faith immediately tossed a rock and began hopping from square to square.<\/p>\n

As she did this, she soon forgot about me, lost in her game of hopscotch — and I now had the picture I’d been looking for.<\/p>\n

Baseball in the Dominican Republic<\/h2>\n
\"World

In developing countries, the sport of choice is often football (soccer). Not much is needed to play — just a ball and some open space to run. In the Dominican Republic<\/a>, however, baseball is the favorite among kids.<\/p>\n

The week before making this picture, I had visited Hebeison, a 10-year-old sponsored child, at his home. I was there to talk with his family before a visit by a group of World Vision bloggers. On that first visit I learned that he and his brother liked baseball, so when I returned, I hoped they might be playing a game.<\/p>\n

It turns out not much is needed to play baseball, either. An old ball, a metal rod as a bat, and, instead of leather, a piece of tattered cardboard for a catcher’s mitt.<\/p>\n

Hebeison’s friend wound up for a pitch and hurled the ball to him, the batter. “Strike!” the catcher yelled as he pulled the ball out of the cardboard, throwing it back to the pitcher.<\/p>\n

The next ball was straight down the middle. Hebeison connected. It nearly hit me as it flew by and ricocheted off the minibus we had arrived in.<\/p>\n

Of the 864 players on Major League Baseball’s opening day rosters<\/a>, 82 players are from the Dominican Republic. I wonder who Hebeison was pretending to be as he hit that ball: David Ortiz? Albert Pujols? Robinson Cano?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
