"Negocio Girl"
"This photo was taken at a street market in Nicaragua.  The girl is the daughter of a woman who re-sells cosmetics and toiletries in the market.  She was the only girl I saw that was dressed up. I assumed the mother dressed her up to encourage tourists and shoppers to take photos for the cost of a negotiated donation.  It worked. A photographer always seeks the best light for every photo. So I asked the girl to sit in this spot, because of the light and without regard to the word meaning 'business' on the wall beside her.  This is one of my favorite photos.  With children, I typically try to capture 'the adult within'.  Her flirtatious, yet jaded attitude catches the eye.  But the slightly askew 'mona lisa' smile and her eyes in juxtaposition with the 'title' on the wall creates an integrated concept and a special photo. I don't recall her name; for me she will always be 'Negocio Girl'. "  - Warren Guthrie
