Children of Papua 13
I See You
I pretended not to notice them as they peeped from behind the bamboo while I photographed their village and talked to some of their parents. But one boy made this “you’re it!” gesture when I started focusing my lens on his shirtless troop.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!

You pretended not to notice them and they pretended to hide behind the foliage until one little guy called all of you on it. Delightful!

There is definitely something mysterious going on in this picture!

To me it’s the instinct they’ve inherited from their parents — hide behind the bush when unsure of what animal they are facing — and I probably looked like some nasty predator 🙂 I can imagine them as adults observing things from behind the foliage with spears, bows and arrows in their hands.

Great pic! I didn’t mean to mess up your stars–I was trying to give you 5 stars, but they wouldn’t highlight! 😦
