These lovely photos were taken by Dima, a 6-year-old Iraqi girl who was an "accidental addition" to the Open Shutters project.

Dima, the daughter of the Iraqi project manager, had her own story to tell. The results are beautiful. My favorite photograph is the last one in the series, also above right. The caption reads: "Farah is like an old man sitting on his chair praying."
