This young boy seemed fascinated by my approach to photography. He could see that I was not photographing the kids who were pointing, waving, and laughing at me. He watched me intently as I searched for an alternative subject, using the door between us a partial shield. He was obviously shy, and he made a perfect subject for my purposes. He represents many of the children in this school were not yet sure about their own identity, and who remained cautious about their relationships with others. There is honesty to him that that is disarming. I also wanted to express how vulnerable he seems – unlike most of his classmates, he would not dare to walk out into the hallway to face my camera.
