While walking around my Brooklyn neighborhood, I noticed these children joyfully playing in the spring sunshine. By chance I had my 16mm camera with me - and was able to film them. They were not afraid of me and my presence didn't bother them. Somehow I was invited into their game, so similar to the first Round Dance of spring.
