Yesterday during our tour of Neukölln I was feeling a little apprehensive about taking pictures of children. Perhaps this was because of the cold stares I received from a group of mothers who saw me walking around a playground with a camera- fair enough. That being said, I still managed to get a couple of good shots in. I saw a shop with a colourful exterior advertising Bollywood films and I thought I'd better go in. Inside, amongst the shiny bangles and shelves of Bollywood movies were these two kids. They instantly loved the camera so I took a couple of pictures and spoke to them in broken German -"Kann ich ein Foto machen?". Their mother was chatting to the store keeper and was pretty happy with the situation. I think this picture is great because as the older brother poses to show his tuff-guy attitude, the little sister unhesitatingly reaches for the camera. After I took this photo I let the brother have a go with the camera...
