a photo that i want you to see

because it really affects me. it makes me feel both sad and warm. the older boy and i made a connection when i shot it, yesterday, after the shot, with eyes and a smile.



what does it tell you? tell me.

(note - if you post a reply, please don't include the image within it)

It reminds me of the times one of my older brothers would take me out for ice cream.

He would always invite me to go to the store with him or such and such. I thought it was great because my big brother didn't mind being seen with me, his dumbass baby brother.

That kid is way too young to drink coffee

I think that's yogurt.

that old movie "would u be my bodyguard" came to mind when i saw that pic. the name was something like that. i havent seen it in years so i cant remember.

they look like they're waiting for the bus. What's so fucking sad about that? Someone should take a picture of me sometime... now THAT'S pathetic.

i can understand why some would not see the sadness (i don't see it as a dominantly sad photo anyway). i'll describe what i see later, so that my description doesn't add a bias.

I didn't see the sad either.

Maybe I'm unobservant.

Yeah, I don't get the sad aspect at all... I mean, two kids, maybe related (maybe not) eating yogurt and waiting on a bus? (or just killing time). It's a nice shot, but sad I don't get...

First, I want to say this photo is beautiful the way it is and I wouldn't alter it one bit. I would diffently agree it has both a sad yet warm feeling to it but that is what makes it so moving. The sadness mostly seems to stem from young adult male's face in which basically leaves me with the thought of what exactly is he thinking about. He is looking away but doesn't seem to capture him distracted by something off in the distance but more in deep concentration with a tad of doubt about one thing or another. The rest of the photo has a very happy tone to it from the child's face to the colors. It all fits very complimentary of one another. With all that its still very hard to escape the sad feeling of photo in which it really gives it this 'down but pulling through' over all mood and that is really what I got from the first sight as well as everytime I look at it.


If you have anymore photos you would like to share I would love to see them.

I think they're looking at a clown with his pants pulled down.

yogurt?

the illuminati eye/pyramid thing in the graffitti next to them makes me feel funny.

good portrait very personal

reminds me of home.

Yeah, but you're always thinking about naked clowns.
