Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 19 August 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Not quite a child and not quite a teenager...somewhere in between and always thinking!!!

(btw...he is not sad, he was just watching the river flow by)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

One of the toughest and yet most exciting years for many boys is being 12. It was that way for me. You've captured a great image of that place of being "in-between".

20 Aug 2007 2:13am

@Viewfinder: That was an awkward time for me too.
Thank you for your comment!

Sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

Hmm...he may not be sad, but he's awful reflective...or sleepy :)

20 Aug 2007 3:02am

@Sherri: Two seconds before the shot he had look straight at me and I missed it. I think he was sleepy, bored and probably 12 other things at the same time too ; )

M.E. from Encino, United States
