A kodak moment...
So there I was walking along Market Street on my way to uni, when I saw a photographer ardently focussing on something. Now, common courtesy dictates that one does not come in between the photographer and their subject, as I walked round her I turned to look at her object of focus. What I saw, was so simple yet so profound, it made me stop for a brief moment, I wanted to be in the place of the photographer, I would have loved to call that picture my own. What I saw was the personification of innocence, in the form of a girl of no more than five years of age, with hair of the purest blonde and a coat of the sweetest pink, stood with her back to the camera. She was staring up at a shop window, full of perfectly proportioned mannequins clad in barely there swimwear. Immediately I was struck with how perfect an epitome it was of today’s society, a society in which there is a distorted perception of beauty, a society in which young children deem this perception to be correct…
