[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
So... i've been away from TE for a while. After running a marathon in February i got caught up in a combination of school and actually taking pictures instead of posting old pictures and talking about pictures. It's been refreshing, in a way.

But it's time to come back, to interact with other photographers, get new ideas, and improve.

So i spent a week in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico in March. This will be only the eleventh picture from Nuevo Laredo on TE, and i have many more that i will possibly be adding as time goes on.

i am going to leave Peru for a while, as i was starting to get bored with the continued narrative, and i have a whole world of fresh material that i feel is better by now.

Well... A whole Oklahoma with a hint of Mexico of fresh material.

This boy was somewhat shy at first, but glad to have his picture taken. He lived in a fairly average housing area in Mexico in a neighborhood called a Colonia.

And he smiled a lot.

And i like that.

excellent shot Sam, great timing really!

Magical, this little boy is great looking up at you with his charm and curiosity. Lovely angle and fantastic moment captured. A heartwarmer!
Look forward to your Mexico shots!

hi sam,
this puts a smile on my face, too ... with the little boy's huge and truthful smile!
very good corner placement of the main 'subject' and beautiful bokeh!
nice color contrast, aswell: well seen image!
tfs,
dora

Olá Sam, welcome back and I look forward to see your fresh material ;-) Love the originality of this composition, with the boy hanged on the wall, making an effort to get IN the image. His tilted expression on the corner sure holds well our attention. The shallow dof is very effective and the perspective gives us a nice blurred context. Great shot.
Gives us more, please!
Ricardo

A little bit over contrasted but I like a lot the composition, a nice one...
Cheers
