a glimpse




Today I had an appointment to take a few photos of a little girl. I was waiting at her house when she arrived home from school. 
She is beautiful and chatty and happy and smart and loving. She wants to be a doctor when she grows up. She says writing is hard work. Math is good. And she loves the dancing that happens at school on Fridays.
We took the photos and her smile was radiant.
This is a glimpse of her neighborhood. 
A part of town that I wasn't all that familiar with until recently.
A part of town that a whole lot of people never see for themselves. Ever.
