Child's play

View On Black - Large

A boy, in pyjamas ? , turns up at the street corner.He has a multicolored plastic ball in his hands.I notice the little boy and want to walk on (the negative connotations of older men photographing young children sticks in my mind, i'm always apprahensive if I want to photograph children because I know how people are...) but I see the photo beforehand and I cannot simply walk on, so I turn round - at that exact moment, the boy sees me sees the camera and drops the ball - The moment I press the shutter the boy kicks the ball out of the frame.
