The Pursuit

Having visited a village, en route to Ranah falls from Khajuraho, the children chased the jeep as we drove away. As is the way with many of the children, they are asking for money, pens, soap etc. At the end of the day they are begging, and the cycle perpetuates everytime a tourist throws a coin, note or pen out of a jeep. I took a few shots of the children as they pursued our transport, smiling laughing and waving as we drove off. This shot had the least children in of the small selection I took, but the young boy with the darker skin, who stands out towards the middle of the shot, made this one by far my favourite. The jeep was bouncing around, to say the track surface wasn't even is very much an understatement - so that fact that this one came out as it did is something of a miracle. A very lucky shot, and one that brings back more memories than many of the other photos I will have taken on the holiday.
