She was ready to be photographed but then looked at her grandfather and decided he wasn’t. And when grandpa has a bad hair day, it has to be fixed right away.

That’s all I needed to cheer up my day..

A few days ago I was walking down Rembrandt square when suddenly I noticed this little girl with bright red shoes being completely hypnotized by two street musicians. I got to talk with her father who told me they were from South Africa and her name is Barbara. I asked him if I could take her picture. He said it was no problem but I would need to get her attention by myself. ‘Things that move tend to hypnotize her’. I kept calling her again and again without any success. I wasn’t going to give up and after a few minutes she gave me this look.
After I took her photo, I sat down and I kept observing her. Then I saw her father encouraging her to take a big step.

Small step for mankind, big step for Barbara.

“I asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up. She told me she wanted to be a stewardess, but was concerned where to find the right outfit for the job.”

Her mum tried to keep her by her side but she was unstoppable. Right after I took their photo this little pumpkin ran up to me and gave me a big fat hug.
