Around 40 now

This little guy was full of laughter, having fun and not minding the world at all. Children can do that, we lose this ability as we get older. He must be around 40 years of age now. Your comments are very welcome.

Wonderful portrait of that little man. Best regards, Franz

Hi Franz,

 

thanks for your friendly comment! Kind regards, Vincent

Great capture Vincent. You can see this little guy is enjoying having his photo taken. BR Patrick

Hi Patrick,

 

thanks for your nice comments! Yes, the little guy obviously enjoyed this; I remember the moment well. Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent, this young man was laughing exceptionally hard, as evidenced by his eyes being closed. Street portraits like this appeal much more to me - at least usually, than studio shots. I find his clothing quite interesting - a shirt with rolled up sleeves in contrast to what appear to be rather heavy socks. - - My best, michael

At a time when young people are dispassionately staring at the smartphone screen, such emotions are a treasure ......

Hi Michael,

 

thanks for your very nice comments! Yes, his clothing is a rather strange combination of summer and winter elements; the socks are 'heavy' indeed. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Jacek,

 

thanks for your great comment! Pure emotion in behavior has become more scarce over the years. What you say about people staring at a smartphone screen rings very true. Kind regards, Vincent

Beautiful image! Thanks for sharing. All my best, Mitch

Hi Mitch,

 

thank you for your friendly comment, much appreciated! Kind regards, Vincent

Pure joy, genuine happiness, there's nothing like it. You have captured this moment in time beautifully Vincent.................Best Always, Holger

Hi Holger,

 

thanks for your friendly comments! This little guy was genuinely having fun. Kind regards, Vincent

What a great looking smile, Vincent. I see he is holding some model cars which I enjoyed when I was small. Well groomed and dressed with some nice and well worn shoes. I like the socks but am not familiar with them. They look well made with a very intricate design. The lighting is excellent with a lot of details. Wonderful timing capturing that great expression and pose. You have seized a very memorable occasion. Best regards, Paul.

Hi Paul and Dana,

 

thank you for these wonderful comments! The boy was really having fun and I was lucky to capture his smile. The socks look rather 'heavy' for the summer season. Kind regards, Vincent
