Girl at the window

There’s something truly magical about the confidence and curiosity of young children.

I encountered this young girl in Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas. She was as intrigued by me and my camera as I was by her, and we ended up having a lovely chat. The scene was brimming with potential: the brightly coloured, weathered wooden shutters, the curtain tied to keep it from fluttering in the tropical breeze, and most importantly, the girl's friendly, toothy grin.

Without her presence, this would have been just an uninteresting snapshot.
