Children begging through our vehicle's window...

[Steve Sanders]

Wow. Such an impacting shot.

[Soldaat]

We basically "sneaked up" on this group of children, and I had the opportunity to photograph them before they spotted us and engulfed our vehicle. In the next few days I'll be posting more of these photos. Stay tuned! ;-)

[Sheila]

So very sad!

[Karen H]

Makes a strong statement.

[Smitha]

[Sheri]

Very powerful image!

[Kareen]

She looks so desperate. Well captured.

[Ian]

So expressive ... and sad

[Pat Knowles]

You must come across some heart breaking situations Soldaat but I would think eventually you will get immune to the never ending begging ?

[Paula]

They look so despaired!

[Stacey]

Wonderful shot of what you must see daily. Very telling.

Does anyone have any news of Soldaat? I'm very concerned after hearing that a number of South Africans were killed in Kabul. I don't know him personally but his photographs have resonated with me.

[Laura Thornton]

@kwiksilver I sent that note to him above and got no response. It's very worrisome. I wish we could find out somehow.

[Laura Thornton]

@ptowncook @paulavdmerwe @noragentian I just went to his profile and saw he had a Facebook account and he is posting to it. I can't read any of it because it's in Afrikaans but I think he is fine. He has amazing photos of Afghanistan on his FB account.

[Ruth Lueth]

@ptowncook Thanks a lot for this information, Laura. It's great to know him being okay.

[mum13/Michelle]

such great shots. Where are you?
