Most enjoyable. In fact, the writings on that window or wall compliment 
the image very nicely. It is really good photograph, Frank, really good.

Very nice, Frank.  I also like the sailing one.  And you had a few lake 
shots which were nice too.Your new digs sound nice.  And I take it 
you're back with your girl friend?  Did I get that right?  Hope the new 
place works out.  Cheers, Christine

I sat on this one for a while, not really knowing what to do with it -
for several reasons.

First of all, there's that silly no cropping film especially from my
rangefinder rule.  I've since realized that while it's not my
preference, sometimes it just has to be done.

Second of all, that background, especially the ads in the window of
the used/discount computer place was pissing me off.

But there's just something about the look in the kid's eyes, the way
he's hiding his face behind the truck, his whole body language that I
find very compelling.

Then I realized that those signs are part of this story in some way.
Distracting they may be, but they say something about the
neighbourhood where this was taken.

I'm walking down Parliament Street in Toronto's Cabbagetown late in
the winter when I see this kid with his father.  He's playing with
this truck.  I start chatting and compliment him on the toy.  He tells
me that his dad just gave it to him that day.  I ask him and his dad
if they'd like me to take a photo of the boy and his new toy and both
agree.

Hope you enjoy:

I allways look at pictures first and read later. The computer adds and
the word RAM (which is a computer part) on the car linked the
foreground and background in the shot. My thought was: Brilliant and a
great capture of the boy too!
Sorry ;)
