Family Photography Now, directive and week 16: Show me a moment where your kids have been left to their own devices and their active imagination has taken over

"In a world where parents and schools increasingly attempt to micro-manage children, there’s something wondrous about those moments when kids are left totally to their own devices, to play. I’m interested in how children interact when adults aren’t hovering; generally they seem to get on with it far more effectively when we’re not there directing their fun."
