Artist's Comments

At first I was horribly disappointed in this picture.. The quality of light, expression, and framing were all perfectly acceptable by my standards, great even. The problem: I had broken the most basic rule of portrait photography- the boy's eyes weren't sharp.
Upon reviewing the picture, I realized that I almost liked that the eyes were unfocused.
The blurring of his eyes gives the subject a sense of anonymity that is very telling of the situation of many children in impoverished areas of the Dominican...

Thanks, Kinsley. I really do appreciate the encouragement..
This picture just makes true the adage "sometimes its better to be lucky than to be good."
Haha, and I agree about the rule thing...
