Get On Their Level

Taken while working on my street photography assignment for my small format class. 

   While explaining another assignment involving strangers, my small format teacher told us that we should primarily focus on taking pictures of people over the age of 12 because anyone younger that that will not have be as interesting of a subject. I for one love taking pictures of kids and am realizing it more all the time because they are so enthusiastic about almost everything.
   These girls were waiting in line for food at a church cookout and while every adult had an impatient look on their face, these three were cutting up and having a great time. When I asked to take their picture, they lit up and this was the result. I do not mean to say this is the case with every kid all the time, but a lot of kids are happy to have there picture taken (as long as they can see it once you are done.)
