The boys

March 3, 2008

Over at shutter sisters they asked for pictures of boys. And while the previous post was also of a boy, I though I’d post one of my favorite boy photos. I love photos that say so much about the moment. Looking through some of the photos in the comment for Shutter Sisters, I was immediately struck by how much a photo says. People I’ve not met, with captured glimpses of their lives, that tell so much.

These boys in this photo include my husband, his brother and our nephew. It captured this moment of joy that I just love. A first for my nephew, as he had never been on a boat before… And 2 grown up guys having just as much fun.

I grew up with 2 younger brother.. and it continually amazed me just how much they could get into. Things that I would never think possible, were simple and not thought much of at all. My husband and his brother have similiar stories, one that would make any mother cringe. My nephew is still young, and fairly innocent. I look forward to the day with some hesitancy when my sister in law calls with stories of daring adventures, and probably a few stitches.

    That’s such a great gestural sketch! Lovely candid smiles. (I know how hard it can be for some guys to smile!)
