I was in the process of taking a photograph of the recently ‘gentrified’ buildings in Bur Dubai, next to Dubai Creek, when this little boy crossed in front of my camera just as I was taking the shot.

After I had taken a look at the photo, I noticed his parents passing back in the other direction and tried to catch up with them, to show them the photo and offer to share it with them, Unfortunately by the time I had turned the corner the family were getting in a taxi and disappeared before I had a chance to call out.

Sometimes opportunities occur, without any preparation and they can provide some beautiful results.
