Pigtails
The eyes are the window to the soul.
This little girl's eyes called out to me from the next booth at Donte's Restaurant in West Palm Beach one morning. I noticed she was essentially in a temporary hostage situation that she couldn't get out of—breakfast with her grandmother and her grandmother's friends.
The group was chattering and conversing over their meal, obviously discussing little things that bored the girl to death. At the moment I shot this picture, I thought she was reaching out to me or anyone else who could come and get her away. There was no escaping the situation, but her eyes said she wished there was. Little would she know, this would become a timeless image.
Something about the clarity of her feelings stirred me to mull over the involvement our souls truly have with our eyes. Through them, we not only behold the world, but the world beholds us.
