All American Kid
I shot this picture at the Festival for the Eno* on July 5, 2004. I do not know the kid or who I presume is his mom, but the pure joy on his face that day is something which has stayed with me for five years now. This photo always reminds me of exactly why kids are so much fun to watch and to photograph. No matter their own ability or disability, their family's social status, or their destiny, kids almost always know how to let loose and have a good time, and do so in an infectious manner. This guy was thoroughly enjoying the music, despite the oppressive heat and humidity which had forced everyone else to seek shade under the trees.
I didn't have a chance to see these two again but, since the festival attracts many of the same faces year after year, I'm almost certain there must be someone who regularly attends the festival and would know who they are. If so, I'd really like to send them copies. I can be reached through the email posted on my home page.
*The Festival for the Eno is a three day music and crafts festival in Durham, NC. It's organized by the Eno River Association. It's held annually over the 4th of July weekend to raise money for and spread awareness about conserving and protecting the nature, culture, and history of the Eno River basin. I've volunteered as a photographer for the last 8years, and I will be doing so again this year.
