When we photograph people in real-life situations, we never know what may happen. I certainly found this to be true in the case of this particular image. Four people were approaching the ocean and stopped to chat at the water’s edge. One of them was a young boy. Kids often offer us spontaneous displays of energy, and this child was no exception. While holding on to his father’s hand, he incongruously jumped into the air. I caught him here at the very peak of his leap. His display of energy contrasts to the static posture of his elders. He resembles a jumping jack, a toy figure of a man with moveable limbs.
