Back-alley football, Morocco: The Decisive Moment
Henri Cartier-Bresson would have called this "the decisive moment": There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.
In this case I also had to know with intuition when to move my head before the soccer ball hit me in it. Fortunately I got the shot in with my little GF1 +20mm combination, managed to get my head fractuinally out of the way, and only felt the wind from the ball rushing past my ears.
If you're watching Morocco play soccer in about 10 years time, look out for this little guy, he'll probably be in the team - it was quite a kick!
