BOYS IN THE HOOD

These lads from the local school were walking past my window - the only safe way to shoot without getting shot! You could hear them clatter and chatter a mile away, on their way to play football at a nearby field. The eager ones in a clump at the front, the ones in the middle with the teacher keeping pace, and the boys in the back bringing up the rear with the kind of nonchalance of those who really don't care too much. A little later the girls walked by. Much neater, but not quieter.
