Kids on Their Way to a Pickup Game, Detroit

I was out with a group of fellow photographers when I took this photograph of a young boy on his way to a pick-up game with his friend. They both seemed in a hurry, so I got off a few frames of each of them, and they went on their way. Encounters of this kind are plentiful, and often times uneventful, but they add fuel to the fire, while I keep looking for the next photograph. I rarely, if ever, go out with others when I want to shoot because it's so highly personal, and near impossible to get your groove on when your with a group, but I always hope for the magical in every situation.
