Education and work


Η εφτάχρονη πιτσιρίκα που πουλάει τα γλυκά της στο δρόμο της Δαμασκού και ταυτόχρονα γράφει τα μαθήματά της δεν άφηνε με τίποτα τον Wasim Kheir Beik να την φωτογραφήσει.

Τελικά ο φωτογράφος του πρακτορείου SANA πήρε αυτό που ήθελε με φακό από 30 μέτρα απόσταση χαρίζοντας σε μας τη θαυμάσια εικόνα.

Πρώτο βραβείο για το 2007 από την Ένωση Αραβικών Πρακτορείων Ειδήσεων.


"Education and work" / "The Challenge"

The Union of Arab News Agencies granted its prize for the best photograph for 2007 to SANA the, the Syrian News Agency for a seven years old girl busy studying while sitting at a side walk in Damascus selling candies.

The young photographer Wasim Kheir Beik, 27 was able to snap the photo after many trials after the refusal of the girl to be photographed, and was covering her face with her small hands every time he tried to snap the photograph. Wasim said that he was able to snap the photo by using a zoom lens at a distance of 30 meters, while he was accidentally at her usual working and studying sitting place.

As for the message that he wanted to relay though the photo, Kheir Beik said, "I want to prove that a human being by will and toil can defeat poverty and divestment.

The Union called the photo "Education and work". Wasim called it: "Challenge". The value of the prize was us$ 1,000.
