Comments
I spotted this tired young boy right after a Fourth of July parade in rural Vermont. It was a bright and slightly overcast day - perfect light for candid photos. Using the classic 105mm Nikkor, I opened the aperture fairly wide to soften the cluttered background and made this picture using the most popular slide film of the day, Kodachrome 64.
