The children yearn for the mines
You do not fuck with Hammer Kid
Kinda looks like Success Kid meme on the beach clenching his fist
I feel good that we can see turkish women with and without headscarves united. In other countries it's or, at least in turkey, it's and.
Usually there are young/old rural/urban divides, but no one forces the choice.
That’s the kind of photograph that sends tingles down my spine…
The angle and framing.
The expression of the kid.
The woman just about clap below.
The proximity of the kid’s feet in sliders to the edge of the wall.
The impression of height and depth.
The sense of love, concern, anger and respect radiating from the crowd of women.
It’s electric!
That kid was too young to know why everyone was mad, or what the hammer symbolized.
Sure, but he's got the right expression!
I'm just a tiny bit disappointed he isn't holding a teddy bear in his other arm.
Not too young to work tho apparently.
Ah yes. HHH's early years.
