Description:
I took a walk with my young cousin. I had carried around my camera in case of a moment worth capturing. I captured this brief moment of my four year old cousin. Her young and innocent mind that’s filled with curiosity caused her to be more vulnerable to her surroundings. She investigated the sounds and allowed the noises to lead her direction. After a long walk, she was tired and hungry. She used her senses and her interest of food and sleep to make her investigate the inside. As the spectator watching her in person, I decided that I wanted to capture the moment of innocent curiosity. I did not capture her face in the photo because I do not want to limit the meaning of innocent curiosity. But, because the timestamp of the youth that would have been carried her face is lacked in the photo, I wanted the image to be perceived in the past and have deeper meaning beyond a specific subject, thus the black and white and the rule of thirds.
