Mike Marcotte 49,760 Posted September 23, 2007 An outstanding composition in my opinion. Expression captured well. Good timing I think. Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted September 23, 2007 Mike, I find myself wondering what life's journey holds for kids like this boy, who seemed very much alone. A musician, perhaps, or a novelist. Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted September 23, 2007 Yep, could be that. My guess is that most serious photographers have a history of observing rather than participating. On the outside looking in. Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted September 23, 2007 Is this too often the look of the youth of America? Link to comment
the mick 0 Posted September 23, 2007 Doug, this is another one of your compositions that just makes you stop for a moment and think. Where will he be 20 years from now? The optomist in me hopes that he will surprise us.... Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted September 25, 2007 Mike, thank you. Your encouragement is much appreciated. Like you, I try to remember that every generation tends to think that the next one is likely to take civilization into a downward spiral. Link to comment

nickmeertens 0 Posted September 26, 2007 Hehe, this dude matches his haircolor with the sole of his shoes. Excellent portrait Doug! Link to comment

jeffl7 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Great photo of an adolescent. No eye contact and the most direct connection is with the sole of his shoe. His expression is somewhere between a sneer and fear. I love it. A truthful shot. Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks Jeff. He seemed to me to be lonely and alone, sneering and searching. Link to comment
