Children-1 Rock-a-bye-baby

I've been mulling a series on Aminus these days. I've particularly been wanting to put up a series that I've been shooting over the last two years or so. Children, whose lives have been touched in some way or the other by the tsunami...
This baby girl, Amirthana, who sleeps peacefully here in her makeshift cradle, was born the morning the tsunami hit the coastal fishing town of Nagapattinam, in Tamil NAdu, India. The nurse had to stand on a couple of benches heaped together and hold the baby above her head to keep the child above water... You can see she's survived that and HOW!
