In the late seventies I spent some weeks photographing life in several slums
of Lima, Peru, including that of Villa Salvador, out in the desert, where I
shot this picture. As usual, I enjoyed myself most around children. I could not
have made them happier if I had brought them ice cream. They were grateful for
my attention and expected nothing else from me. They did not know they were
poor and could not have behaved better towards me.
