I saw this picture on nikon stunning gallery page and it was the one that really caught my eyes! Really nice picture. But sometimes when I look at it I wish that the kids would have been in focus instead of the camera. Still an amazing picture!

Alex Nsengimana says:

This is one of my favorite pictures. This describes my passion for photography. As you the children’s excitement about the picture that they have taken, that is the kind of excitement I get too. My first semester as senior at Cotter high school I took photography and I love it. I learned a great deal about photography. I found out that there is more than just pointing and shooting! One my assignment was to use a picture that I have taken and make a poster using Photoshop. On my poster I said “Capture the moment while you can, it may not be the same tomorrow.” The reason that led me to say that quote is because I do not have the wonderful moments when I was very young because they were all destroyed during the genocide. Those moments are long gone but I can capture the moments of today and the future.
