I didn't need to speak Samoan to communicate with these handsome boys. They wanted to know my name, and they thought it very funny and giggled hysterically when I tried to pronounce their names.
My sister and brother-in-law travel a lot, and she is a photographer. Often she takes a small portable printer with her when they travel to remote places and gives the people she meets, pictures of themselves on the spot. Some have never had their picture taken, and feel like they have been given the best gift. I wish I would have been able to do that. These kids loved seeing their pictures on my camera, and their smiles make it all worthwhile for me, but I would have loved to give this photo to their parents.
