If I were real pro, I would have nailed the kid's feet down to the road.

If I were real pro, I would have nailed the kid's feet down to the road.

Why would you do that?

I like it - it shows a slight uncomfortable youngster - shyness. The others are "pro's" or just too young to know what is going on.
The boy - and his leg - makes this cool!

Stay away from being a real pro! ;.)

If only he peed right there, that would have been the photo!

Nice memorable shot

Great treasure Kav

I'll second what Frank said. Great treasure!

Thanks all, I'm really happy with it. He had gotten really quite so I peeked in on him to find him emptying my wallet. As soon as I saw it I though "Awwww..." Then I remembered I had film in the Speed Graphic, and I was digging the lighting. So I grabbed the camera and fired off two shots. The second shot later got exposed again becasue I did not advance the film in the bag mag like I normally do after a shot. While I was upset with it at first it is starting to grow on me. Others seem like it it as well:

My son again and the other photo is of one of my coworkers. He saw my camera and asked if it was going to take a long time to set it up to take photos? I already had the camera zone focused so I just said "nope" brought the camera up to look through the view finder and fired off a fast shot with a flashbulb in the hanger. On a side note, I think the heat from the flash set off the fire alarm. We have IR sensors in the hanger to detect fires. 5 mins after I shot the second photo the fire department showed up in full force looking for a fire. It seems that the audible alarm only goes off if there is a fire in the work spaces.
