Huang Fu Cheng, 66 year old retired soldier, waters his crops on the bank of the Xiang Jiang River in Changsha on October 31, 2009. A drought in south-central China has left the Xiang Jiang river water levels at a record low. Huang must visit frequently to manually water his garden because of the lack of rain, and his family worries how the labor will affect his health.
I adore that photo, down to the darker outer edges. Your shots are amazing. What a heartbreaking image. And story. When I went to Peru, I couldn’t get images and stories like these out of my head.
Thanks Cathey. I appreciate it. Being abroad does amazing things. I want to visit Peru badly.
