Just kids!

3 Minutes Read

As the posting schedule of my Burma photos was approaching the Christmas season it started to become obvious in my head that I had to do a children’s post for Christmas day!

NIKON D90 (50mm, f/2.8, 1/250 sec, ISO200)

 

One of the best things of leaving the “western world” and traveling to developing countries is that people don’t frown upon to people with a camera. Photographers aren’t  terrorists or sexual offenders, but just regular people. Maybe not regular people, because everyone’s so curious about you, but kids get even more than adults, first innocently looking as if you’re some kind of alien and then, sometimes in large groups, surrounding you with such excitement and frenzy that it’s almost impossible to take a picture with everyone trying reach the front spot. And if a child is too small to stand in front of the camera there’s always a grown up with a helping hand to carry them, as adults aren’t that different from kids.

In the end everyone end up his picture taken and, in what probably is the best thing in street photography, happy as the photos are shared with the temporary models.

My passion for photography is driven by my passion for travel, either in remote locations or discovering hidden places in my country or my hometown, to discover who lives there, and all photos reflect my perspective from those wanderings.
