Enjoy Your Childhood

This isn't the picture of simplicity. I probably should have cropped out another fish or scale, but I like the things in this young boy's life. His Grandpa wasn't too happy with me and my camera, and made some gesture (that happens to me a lot). I'm glad that I captured his expression that day because I know what his life is destined to become in this fishing village on the coast of Chile. So I moved on to the vegetables.
