After a long day at the yearly festival on the 5th of May, Liberation Day, with lots of music, I wanted to leave but suddenly realised the potential of portraits of people in the Ferris Wheel. It is a great option for the lazy photographer, although the movement and constantly changing light made timing difficult. The whole series for me represents a kind of microcosm of human relations and emotions. I like this one in particular because of the light and the clear fascination of the girl with the giant wheel. It seems the mother (I presume) genuinely wants to follow her daughter in that fascination, but of course as a grown up she is not able anymore to clear her mind completely of all rational consciousness and be fully engulfed by fantasy and fascination. But at least she tries!
