Look Ma...Nothin' in my mouth!

This is my 18 months old son dressed as "Bala (child/little) Krishna".

 

Bit of a story/context on the title/caption:

Krishna, a god in Hindu mythology, was very naughty as a child & used

to stealthily eat-up butter in his mother's kitchen as well in his

neighborhood. His mom used to get upset quite often with her naughty

son & the complaints she used to get from her neighbors!

 

(Here my little son Shyam (one of Krishna's alternative names), though

dressed up as Krishna & equally naughty, was actually not caught

eating butter - but a chocolate!!!) ;-) Hope you like this. Appreciate your

comments.

Thanks for the comments on my portfolio, they are very much appreciated. I see in many of your portraits three elements that I'm drawn to: beautiful eyes, natural lighting, and spontaneity. The shots of my family that I've posted illustrate the most important photographic rule; if you take enough pictures, a few are bound to be good :) My grand kids think a camera is part of my anatomy; they rarely see me without it. I think that's the key. The kids forget about the camera, so I have countless spontaneous photo ops. I'm happy if 5 shots out of 100 are worth opening. The images in my portfolio were culled from thousands of shots. Yours, Jerry King

This is a lovely shot, fraught with simple childhood and mythology. Hope it was Swiss choclet ;-). Karl

I like the cultural references through his costume, but its that open mouth that drew my eye. Such a wonderful little image.
