Every one of them invites the viewer to ask "I wonder what they are thinking?"
I like that.

That lad in the third image is thinking, "Oh for heaven's sake, who cares about the slight edge distortion? Stop looking at the bloody bricks!"

Jeremy, Sometimes oldies are besties. That kid in #3 is a besty. Not only is the expression on his face a mirror into his mood, it's a classic expression for a kid that age. I know. I had four of those.

Hence the alternative expression: talking to a brick wall.

Photographers seem to do that a lot. As do some kids, except that they tend to mutter instead.

Sometimes I think we adults are who talk to a brick wall... while addressing to a kid.

Sorry there aren't any tits, Rob ... I was thinking about Robert Frank and Lee Friedlander.

That's interesting, I never think about Robert and Lee; I do admit, though, that I often think about tits. I had imagined that everybody did.

Just goes to show you how mistaken one can be!
