‘Would you like a beer, Ma’am?’ was almost certainly NOT what the boy was asking the lady I assume to be his mother. I took this photo strolling along the streets of Xi’an back in 1991.
Today’s photo, ‘Hold on Tight’ was taken in Tienanmen Square in 1991. I’m not sure what the boy was watching – perhaps all us strange foreigners, perhaps another police squad marching from A to B.
I took this photo from the banks of the Melinau River in the Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak, back in 1989.
Here’s the last in this series taken at a street theater in Georgetown, Penang on August 4, 1989. The only illumination on the audience was the spill of the stage lights so this is an available light shot sot on ISO 100 Fuji Provia. My guess is that the boy is the grandson of the bespectacled gent in whose lap his is sitting.
There weren’t any ‘parental controls’ at this street theater performance in Georgetown, Penang. Despite the knife and sword play on the stage no one seemed concerned that there were children in the audience. Despite all the adults around, it’s a young boy that is holding up an even younger boy so he can see while a third boy stands behind them, his gaze firmly on the scene unfolding before him. I wonder if they’d ever seen anything like this before.
