Essentials or Staples of Life

Such a clear message and common need in a lot of countries throughout the world. Basic needs cannot be overlooked and over crowding and poverty are often hiding from the public eye even though it is a reality that needs addressed. Great shot for my contest. Thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful to see a marriage that is one of longevity. Congrats to your parents. They look happy together. This was exactly the type of photo I was hoping to see in my contest. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful moment. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you Archer. I really like this photo and caption a lot. Hands and hearts...Touching Thanks for entering it in my contest.
The way the photo was staged makes it very impressive. I would like to use this symbolism in the future on some of my shots. At least the idea you presented. I hope you will allow me.

Great shot. Time is something we will never get back and is so vital in life. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Simple shot with a beautiful message. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great photo.

Clearly one of the basic staples for life is food. This photo depicts the hardships and need to help feed those who are hungry. Great example of one essential in our human lives. Great shot and capture.

Great shot. Wish I were there. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Housing no matter how basic is an essential we cannot live without. Having safety and a roof over our head is one of our top needs as humans. Great capture of this family. Thanks for sharing the photo.

Very good shot. So real. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great depiction of a married couple who have withstood the pressures of a long marriage. Having that special someone to spend life with is such a blessing that is often missing in today's cultures. Thanks for sharing the photo.

Without water we cannot live. Our body is made up of this and we have to replenish it daily. The school children in their uniforms caught my eye as well. Another key essential is education so this displays two of our greatest needs. This is exactly what I was hoping to see in this contest. Congratulations on your photo.

I can see a lot more here than just a photo. The gratitude you list from the son to mother and the caring he is showing her speaks volumes to me. Such a simple portrait with so much meaning. Thanks for sharing this and congratulations on your photo.

The fact that you used this combination with the bible and key reflect your morality. Such a great combination showing the key to life is faith no matter what religion or tongue you say it in. Thanks for sharing this in my contest. Greatly appreciated.

The combination of the bible and compass are fantastic. Without the moral compass to guide our lives, we are just existing. This photo cannot be taken lightly in a world driven by harshness and darkness. Not only do we need light but someone we look to that helps guide us. Thanks for sharing this photo in my contest.

One of my favorite photos. Longevity in life and marriage is what we all desire in basic terms. The couple are smiling and holding hands. Thanks for sharing this enduring photo.

Excellent photo. Great shot. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great capture. I love the heart and then the couple walking. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Very impressive shot. I love the little girl looking up and seeing the cross.
