This is a capture I shot for the Street Photography Now Project instruction #35. This boy was sitting at the bench
next to what I suppose to be his father and grandfather.... He was playing with a white hat on his head when I spotted him.
When I approached, he just flipped it with his fingers, and tried to catch it....

When I kneeled before him to make this shot, he saw me, and looked a bit suspicious. I composed, came a little closer, shot this
one. Without words. When I looked over my camera, he still looked a bit puzzled. I waved, still without words. He waved back,
watchful... without words, and a very small smile.....

Both the older men never knew I was there...
