Whilst I was on the street with my camera a group of kids started to follow me - they asked if I'd take their photograph. This lad grabbed his girlfriend for a picture - she was shy, but you could tell he was proud to show her off to the camera. It's a shame they'll never see the result. The image captures a softer side to kids that are all tarred with the same brush - "Hoodies". Are they really any different to other generations of teenagers in lust?
