Monomad: Playing on Holidays

When bored with school routines, or lessons, homework given by the school, and additional lessons, children will naturally look for a place to relieve stress, fatigue, and all the busy routines. For example, these two children that I met on the beach that afternoon. Both of them came to the beach just to see the fishing boats passing by. Occasionally they laughed, joked, and their faces radiated happiness.

I approached the two of them and invited them to chat. Occasionally I asked about their activities outside of school, where they went to school, what sports activities they liked, and how they took the initiative to go on vacation to the beach on the weekend. Apart from the two of them, there were actually several other visitors relaxing in another corner.

After chatting with the two boys, I asked permission to take pictures of the two of them. At first they both seemed shy, but eventually they were happy to take pictures. I deliberately took some pictures while they were busy, no longer focused on my camera. Then when they joked, chatted, and also saw the fishing boats passing by.

There are some photos that I deliberately took without their knowledge, I did that so that their expressions would not be awkward. And here are some shots that I managed to execute. And tonight I will also show some of those photos in the blackandwhite community.

I'm going to put this (Playing on Holidays) into a daily #monomad contest organized and curated by @monochromes
