 p.1 #8 · Thailand- girl at ancient capital | |
Thank you for the kind feedback.
As with my other B&W film stuff, this was taken 20+ years ago. Times were simpler. Traveling to somewhat remote places like Ayuthaya, Thailand, showed me that people the world over were friendly and, for the most part, trusting.
Walking among the ancient ruins, I came to the edge of the river, and the girl and two boys were just "hanging around" for some reason I've long forgotten-- or never knew. I approached, smiled and gestured with my camera. Meeting a friendly reply, I raised the camera and took a couple of photographs. Then smiled a thank you and left. True, the light was harsh, but that was when I came upon the children.

they seem to have a combination of awareness and innocence that is beguiling. For most of us, the teen years were a write-off that our parents hoped would someday end. Then, as we grow into adults, the harsh realities of the world often beat us down somewhat. By the time we become "seniors" some get real cranky. Not me, but I've heard of it happening to others
