He's barefoot. And those are the kind of sharp Southwestern rocks that mutilate your feet no matter how little you weigh. Plus he's got a cast that extends above the elbow? Man, I bet your mom is so glad he's grown up now.

That picture is just tooooo cute!

I love that kinda stuff.

We went barefoot whenever we could. The soles of our feet were like that leather BigV likes. And dirty. Although I remember a few times cutting my feet on glass and thorns and stuff. It's funny, because now I make my kids wear their shoes, and I never go barefoot.

Being older and being grown up are sometimes mutually exclusive.

Gravdigr · 01-28-2011, 04:35 PM

I'm getting older, but, I refuse to 'grow up'.

jbot · 02-02-2011, 07:59 PM

Yes! I love photos like that too. Ones that are snippets of a story. People are infinitely interesting... i guess that's why i majored in psych.

I also like nature pics, and anything with a strong geometric form.

Bullitt · 02-02-2011, 08:07 PM

I love how pictures turn out when the subject doesn't know you're taking any. People always appear much more natural and real.

Take this kid for example:

Him not knowing I was taking the picture set up the shot so much better than if he was staged. He looks completely melted into being at the beach, enjoying the surf. His natural condition, immersed in the setting. As opposed to a "smile for the camera" moment when all that is lost and he's just another kid at the beach.

Great pic! You should enter that in a contest.

Clodfobble · 02-03-2011, 09:09 PM

Hey Bullitt? Be careful taking pictures of other people's kids at the beach. I'm just sayin'. It shouldn't have to be that way, but it is.

He's in the moment. great capture

Bullitt · 02-03-2011, 09:43 PM

Thanks for the compliments. It's my cousin's kid just to clarify.

monster · 02-03-2011, 09:43 PM

Agreed. And the pic is fine, won't get you into any trouble legally, but if I saw you taking pics of my kids, We'd be having a conversation. Although if this was my kid, like as not it'd be on the friendlier side of protective parent.

Bullitt · 02-03-2011, 09:48 PM

Here's a pic of me and him, albeit he's a few years younger. Actually another example of a photo of someone without them knowing (we're both asleep)

And also to clarify again, I don't go around taking pictures of random people when they aren't looking. I just like how much more natural people look when they don't know, that's all.
