A Conversation with Phillis Wheatley

super

I was taking a picture of this statue when a family came by and this little boy just hopped up next to the statue. I quickly asked the parents' permission to take this shot and caught it.

ADORABLE. I get a sense of your love for humanity in the pictures you take. Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks everybody. Windy, I try to show the beauty of the people I see. I have to watch closely to catch the special occasions that show it like this one. It's a humbling work, because I can't set them up. Also, I toss lots of pictures which just don't show that human spark. And kids are the easiest, because they're not afraid to show who they are.
