he's very dark so you can barely see his face

i don't pity kids who get As



well done KID!

and well done to brownsugar for a wonderful pic!

Cool, brownsugar!

i'm really diggin' this photography thing. its time consuming but the results are rewarding. i can't believe in that when bush is outta office, my babies will be 14, 11, and 9. it boggles the mind how fast time flies. thats why you gotta live every moment like its your last. to hell with everyoneelse. the pic in my profile of my other two sons i like better, but whatever.

my seven year old wants his hair cut like that!

brownsugar said:

uh, i took him to the barber when you were out

this is another one i liked but they didn't pick. this is at sherman park on 55th an racine in chicago. the lake was frozen.

MrTee said:

no the hell you didn't!!

brownsugar said:

he told me "Mr T, i wanna be just like you!"

it's natural for a youngster to try an emulate someone he looks up to

next step is some gold chains'!

I love viewing your pictures.

Congratulations!!

You've come a long way with your photography!

I am LOVING your pics!! They're dripping with mood... VERY nice

I think you are amazing! I love the children and feel the Lake not being used was an oversite on their part.

i love that picture. 'cause it looks like its from another time or something but if you were there you'd see it was cold, very bright with streets and cars racing around and crackheads walking around. its something how you can take a picture that is totally out to context of its surroundings.
