This is great documentary photography and has stimulated an amount of social awareness in me to ask how old is this kid and where are his parents so they can be locked up.
. . . and where did he get all that money from?
Seems I will have to make myself clearer.
There are far too many `notes` in the guitar case and all of the same denomination, for any street busker let alone a couple of kids. Most buskers I see are lucky to have a few coins. This kid is `rolling` in it.
I would hazard a guess that the childrens parents (or parent) are about 10 feet away, behind the camera. If there had perhaps been a scattering of coins and one or two scrunched up and torn notes, the picture would have carried more weight.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it is a setup.
Great picture though.
