Good friends. This picture captures a joyful and maybe mischievous sight of youthful harmony. The picture probably portrays a bunch of kids participating in an apparently innocent game, but it could also suggest some underlying lighthearted mischief. Maybe they're all gathering around a damaged object with expressions of great innocence, or they're all sporting angelic smiles while standing wary near a recently painted wall. The photographer has deftly caught the complicated dynamics of early friendships and the often narrow line between good behaviour from mischief. This picture reminds us that it's usually worth looking into what's truly going on when kids are acting very nicely. It honours the happiness and friendship of childhood while gently parodying the difficulties of parenting and the erratic character of children.
