You may have seen him before well Summer season is here and he has no pores on skin to release swet his body remains so Hot. He was not willing to wear cloths as he feels very hot. This is his time to go school but In Pakistan Air conditioned schools are hard to find. Btw i found him incredibly intelligent then other kids .

Instant photo when he was pushing cloths away and sitting besides window

    Great composition, including the lighting and shadows. Sad, sad story, too.

    no pores? it seems amazing that he's lasted this long. How does he keep from overheating?

    Very... disturbing.

    Heat is only problem for these people. In Pakistan this is very rare so no incentives for these people

    wow! this photo hits you right in the face; very strong. very sad as well for the kid, they should have a happy time as a kid rather than going through all this pain. hopefully he'll make his life a bit easier with putting that inteligence to work and go studying.

    very good work my friend! thumb.gif

    Does he pour water over his head to help in heat loss? In the photo, it appears that his hair is wet.

    ah, it's not that he doesn't have pores, it's that his sweat glands don't work, according to the wiki article on ectodermal dysplasia.

    Sounds really terrible, frankly. I know dogs and other animals without sweat glands have to pant in order to overcome the heat (since there's water and heat loss in the breath), but I don't know if that would be enough for a human...

    Hi Awais!

    That's a sad story, this boy's.
    Hope everything's fine with him.

    And as usual, your photography is very touching.

    Take care!
