A boy follows his father, carrying a birdcage. Amman, Jordan.
Another one from my favourite pictures from Amman. This photo might be a good illustration of how photographers interfere with lives of those whom they portray and how photography can never be completely impersonal and detached from depicted reality just because of physical presence of a photographer. The cage was obviously too heavy for the little guy and it was taking him all his focus to carry it before he noticed me.Then he saw me taking a picture of him, he stopped, watching me, laughed and suddenly he dropped the cage and its bottom fell off. Luckily (or maybe unluckily), the birds remained inside, the man came back to help his son and he didn't even tell him off (otherwise I would die of shame), so it all ended well.
