Few days ago I was asked to take one-year-old photos of this little gentleman. This incredible fast fellow was full of curiosity and every item and place seemed to be mind-blowingly interesting from his point of view.

I took couple of basic portraits of him and everyone was happy. As I started to edit these photos I noticed that despite his very young age, imagination was already running wildly. Exploring his teddybears figures by touching its nose and mouth and making it stand on its own while wondering around it, replicating noises and looking it from different angles. I had no clue what this game or play with his toy was all about... this game that even one year old could play and understand.

I then decided that my goal was to "restart" my own imagination and make a world that would have somekind of a story around him. So I chose one "accidentally" taken photo of him when he was playing around and started creating.

This is what I ended up with. One side of the photo has a dry and decading landscape representing aging, weakening imagination as the opposite side turns to be more "fresh" and vital describing curious, healthy creativity like childs have. Because playing is learning and the best way to maintain our imagination I added toys around scene and placed grass growing footsteps around them to remind us not to look things always from the same perspective.

So to understand why kids have such a great time while playing remember to restart your imagination once a while
