After school, these guys go to the public park to play soccer together.

Of course, when they spotted me with my camera, they came running to have a team photograph taken – not entirely seriously, jostling each other and joking continuously. It took a lot of patience to catch them at a moment they were standing reasonably still: I didn’t have a lot of latitude in the late afternoon light under the trees and of course they were getting impatient. But they were happy with the result, and so was I.

Taken in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan.
