The toughest thing in the world is to give a title rather than writing it. Got to get a fitting title for your thoughts and also take care that you do not wander outside the title. So, i am going to name this post after writing it . . . . lets see how it turns out to be.
Photographing children is one of the most interesting and also the most difficult things to do. The subject is on the move, doing something or the other, has senses same as you with a possibility of getting offended too . . . .So, along with your camera, you are also carrying the risk of being beaten up.
With a zoom lens, you are bit convenient and so is your subject; Children are always cute everywhere and the children in Japan are no exception with their small eyes and doll-like features; They behave very well in the public and are mostly shy, clinging to the legs of their parents.
I had been to a local festival earlier this month and there were lots of kids around; The festival hosted a small entertainment stall for the kids; There were lot of gifts inside a box with threads tied to them. The other end of the thread was let out of box; all the kids have to do was to stand in a queue, pull a thread of their choice and get the gift - and then again stand in the queue for the next one.
Their were a cycle of varied emotions, a "long wait" for the turn to come, "anxeity" while waiting, "tension" when pulling the thread, "happy" after seeing the toy, "Pride" when showing the toy to their mothers, kinda 'I've acheived feeling' and not to let alone the 'Jealousy' that crops up when the find a better toy with their friend. And as always the other toy looks better.
