Photo of the Day 51


Baby in a Bicycle Basket, Cambodia, 2000

Photograph by Steve McCurry

A baby in a makeshift bike basket stares into the camera in Angkor, Cambodia. It's common in some Buddhist cultures to shave children's heads, often leaving a small unshaved tuft above the forehead.

(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "The Temples of Angkor: Still Under Attack," August 2000, National Geographic magazine)

I love the picture... the focus on the baby... Yet the solemn in the Baby's eyes... scare me.

It's the robustness and honesty in your photos and subjects that I oh so love. This one is yet another testament to that.
