These children were sharing what appears to be an engrossing book on the sidewalk just outside of their school. They were on a break, and one of them is simultaneously enjoying a treat as well. A third child’s hand, bearing a drink, breaks through the frame at left. The children knew I was photographing them, but they were so absorbed in the book that they essentially remained oblivious to my presence. My interpretation is based on creating a sense of intimacy. By moving in with a telephoto zoom, I take the viewer into their confidence as well. All of us become engaged. We want to learn more about what they are studying here. The image engages our imagination and makes us partners in a process.
