The Great Explorer

Snapshot at his great-grandfather's birthday party.

See it on black

Update, March 2009: I am NOT licensing this photograph anymore, to anyone, for any purpose, neither commercial or non-commercial. It was fun once, but I don't want to deal with the decision-making any longer. No matter how noble your motives are, I don't want to come to a point where I have to explain to my son why he was printed in some kind of publication that he maybe wouldn't have wanted to be in. Thanks for your understanding.

Great lighting for a great moment. Sometimes the two don't sync up for a perfect photo. This was one of those occasions where it did.
