Inquisitive
Nikon F2, Nikkor-S 50mm f1.4, Fuji Superia Xtra 400I caught this moment as our Angel Island tour brought us to the room where a poem carved into the wall of the immigration center was discovered underneath layers of paint. The tour guides passed around replicas of poem carvings for us to ponder as we listened to the story of how the discovery of this poem eventually lead to the preservation of this historic place. This young man was taking in all the lessons and information that was presented to us.

The composition of the flow of people walking and the one boy stopping if very nice. Did you plan that in the shot? His expression and the lighting is very nice. I wish you could see the carvings on the board.
Still a very nice shot.

Thanks Dolph.
Dolph, the shot was not planned, that's the fun and challenge of candid photography, capturing an unplanned, but interesting scene as it unfolds before your eyes, a captured moment that will never be repeated that way again :).
The other people were standing there in the background paying attention to the speaker, but the boy was more interested in seeing the carving. Yes, too bad the characters are not more visible, though if you look hard, you can see some faint outlines.
The lighting was a combination of faint incandescent light bulbs, and some natural light from a nearby window that just happened to give the subject enough light to stand out.

Nice candid shot. Because the lighting is on the dim side, the kid in his white t-shirt really pops out.
