about 10

Children about 10 are standing just before or sometimes with a toe or even a foot in adolescence. For me this is an fascinating age and I love to photograph them. These children are still strongly attached to all the norms, values and emotions of the parents but at the other hand already smelling the air of in-dependancy. Not yet knowing who they want or will become, not yet influenced too much by a peergroup, is their identity kind of uncertain yet. It depicts melancholy and opportunities at the same time.
