Uptown Portraits

Uptown Portraits, Chicago cir.1994-97

 

This photo is another one of many I took in Uptown, Chicago

(Illinois). This boy's name is Cameron. He, and his mother & sister,

lived in a one room apartment across the street from where I lived.

 

His mother had no teeth, but couldn't afford to get dentures. She

asked me not to take a photo of her face.

Great portrait, very original. I like the short dof, both the blurriness and the cropped head of the mother makes her enhance the portrait of the kid, instead of stealing any attention from it.
