Looks like good show Ahmad?

The hospital portrait and the kite flying shot really catch the eye

I feel downs syndrome kids are so beautiful.
The school photo of the little girl & the kite flying little girl made me blub.

 

[Lesley Jones]

They are beautiful, aren't they?

looks like a great exhibit, i think i read somewhere these were mostly family members of the photographers.

Recently there has been a lot of exposure on the disabled, disfigured and incapacitated and more and more if possible such children afflicted are taught in mainstream schools. I don't think the balance is quite perfect yet and more support is needed as schools and work places are often not equipped to take on the extra challenges. The incentive seems to be more funding and little else. What I do like is that both my girls have grown up interacting with children who a few years ago would have been educated away somewhere in a special school. They now are no longer ignorant and not afraid to interact with them.

Thanks Ahmad - certainly inspirational and Paul's makes a good point. There's some way to go but it seems things are moving in the right direction.

A beautiful exhibition, Ahmad. The last one is my favorite - the most effective in conveying the feeling in an abstract way.
