As soon as I stepped into the riverside settlement along the Mahananda River, I was spotted by the local children. Curious about the camera slung over my shoulder, they swarmed around me in a flurry of excitement. Some of them even asked outright to have their picture taken.
Before I knew it, a whole crowd had gathered and lined up in front of me as if for a formal portrait. At that point, there was no way I could just walk away without taking the shot. Peering through the viewfinder, I saw a variety of expressions—some children stared back at me with bold, almost defiant eyes, while others seemed a bit shy. And of course, a few wore wide, carefree smiles.
