I am old enough to be on my own! by ukandie1

I am old enough to be on my own!

I took this shot a little over a month ago, mid June. This little girl was adamant that she was old enough to wait outside the store in Cambridge. One parent stood just out of sight watching her, so she was safe. As I left the store I was taken with the colorfulness of the scene, and as she has her head bent I felt it was appropriate to take the shot. I am posting a b&w shot on IG.

I do want to add that I have in the past taken shots of children with their faces in view, but for this shot it felt inappropriate!
Great candid shot

This has such wonderful detail and it starts a story... I wonder where the story goes next.

Fascinating reflections in the store windows, too!

It is hard to let go and give them the independence they crave, I struggle with this and my girls are 11 and 9.

I remember doing the same thing with each of my girls. I love the reflections in the windows and all of the color. Very fun catch!

@nicolecampbell haha...I am told off frequently by my 20 and 21 year old, to which I tell them that secretly they love it, even though it might take them years to understand it! I finally understand what my mum told me, you never stop worrying, its just the level of worry that changes as long as they don't give you reason to worry more :)

I love all the different things to look at in this shot, including the guy also taking a photo that can be seen in the reflection.

I like how her one hand is still holding back - she is ready for independence but a tether. Excellent. Fav.
