Vienna, taking photos on the Danube river, a kid comes to me and ask me something in German. I know no German and try to reply in English, but he knows no English. Somehow we manage to have a very rough conversation, mainly using gestures and guessing words, he want to see my camera, what it is capable of and such. I ask for a pose and he wants and is joined by another kid. I take the photo when notice they talk with each other in… Romanian! A language all of us talk perfectly… natively. We talk a bit and then I have to go.

The kids were playing near the river, they noticed me, posed a little (in bad light) then ignored me and continued their play (in a better light):

Chilling from play, they took some refreshing coconuts and came again to pose for me, proudly sipping the coconut milk:

As a kid, I spend a lot of time outside, playing football (soccer) with my friends, as all Romanian kids used to do in the pre-computing era. Going to India I saw (well, this was expected) all the kids playing cricket, a game I saw only in films or books, but I knew is their national game, I don’t know the rules but it seems similar with the American baseball (of which rules I don’t know either, nor care to learn). So the field at the village border was filled with those kids playing.

Traditional masters? Rural glamour? Of course! But there were also a lot of little ones, both in the show and the audience:

The kids are playing basketball in the back of a community center in TîrgoviÈ™te… so many years ago I used to play the game (both basketball and football) in the court of the school in my neighborhood… fun times! In fact what we needed was a ball, a little open space and some play companions.
