I’m Smitten With These Kids

This picture was taken a few weeks ago when I read to some kids at an afterschool program. I forgot that the picture had been taken, quite frankly, but for once I don’t look like Jason Lee in a mugshot from “My Name is Earl.”

These kids are fantastic, and the photographer is amazing. He’s a man named Robert Nunley and he’s going to be setting up a blog about the kids’ lives before the end of the year. Robert’s work is just fantastic.

And I look alright, for once. Robert is a miracle worker, I’m telling you.

Yeah, you didn’t know I was an old lady, didja?

    What an awesome picture. This totally captures the beautiful soul that you have…so giving, somewhat childlike, precious.

    JP, BTW, No photo opp. Just a smart photographer who I asked not to do this.
    He did anyway. I dug these kids so he convinced me.
    I’m usually all “YIKES.”

    ‘Coma, I am wild about this photograph. It speaks volumes about love and silliness and community and respect and the inherent happiness of childhood and being an adult while retaining a child’s sense of wonder.

    Cherish this. Get it enlarged and frame it.

    Wow. What a beautiful work.

    It’s all Robert Nunley. I read to his class of kids about a month ago and he shot these.

    i’m going to, by the way.
