Nut Granny

This old woman was selling nuts on the streets of Hampi/India. I was so moved by her sad look, that has lost any kind of live and hope. This moment showed me, how poverty can break peoples soul.

After I�ve got my Bachelor of Arts degree in Oct. 2010, where I specialized myself in photography, film and music, I�m travelling for one year and try to capture every moment that moves me or inspires me with my camera.

Photoburst is a photo of the day contest focusing on Travel Photography.

Everyday (from the 1st until the 28th), among all images uploaded by our contributors, we publish a photo of the day (POTD).
Every week (on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th), among all POTDs of the preceding week, we select a photo of the week (POTW).
On the 30th we select the best POTW as photo of the month (POTM).

The author of the POTM receives:
a US$50 gift certificate to Kiva + (in even-numbered months only) an invitation to be Photoburst's guest editor in the following month!
