Washing the baby, a photo from Kerala, South

Photographer's Note

This is a lucky baby. Indian babies are massaged with oil, every inch of their body, 2-3 times a day. next was his bathtime. His water was warmed, then poured into the bucket. Soap is rubbed all over his body, and he is rinsed off. His mother spits warm water into his ears, then blows them dry. He is dried, and fed, and soon after this, he is asleep. In Indian families, everyone holds the baby, carries the baby, and they rarely ever cry. What they lack in baby material goods vs. western babies, they get in love instead.

Hi Gloria,
What I like in this picture are the strong colors and the sense of movement this rather calm picture has. I liked the note too, it gave some emotion to the photo.

Have a nice day,
Simon
