Kids in the Wind
I love a photograph that tells a story; people at play, people at work, people just living in a way we can all relate to. When we see these images we are all drawn into the story and relate to them with our own memories and emotions.
This photograph is not just a story but a small novel. The viewer can almost feel the blowing sand and hear the laughter of the children. These boys are playing with the wind. The feeling of movement in the mats demonstrates the power of the wind while the posture of the children tells us that they are having fun and enjoying life.
The lighting is low enough to give good detail in the sand while the reflected light off its surface has help to fill the shadows. My only wish is that there was a little more separation between the blowing mat and the vegetation covered hill in the distance. Perhaps the levels could be compressed just a little to take some of the gray our of the sand.
