I asked this little boy's mother if I could photograph her son at Target today. There is something pure and magical embedded in the face of a sleeping child. He was completely passed out yet had a death grip on his soccor ball toy. He was still wearing new slippers with the price tag on the bottom which were still strung together. It was hilarious watching his mother try to secretly pry them off his feet without waking him up.
I was a little concerned with taking candid shots of people. It's like pointing a loaded gun at them if you don't ask for their permission. Thankfully, the mother had no reservations at all of letting me snap a few of her son.

when I crop this as a horizontal, eliminating the price tag and the out-of-focus tiedown, it snaps a whole lot better. Except for the distracting foreground, this one is very nice indeed.
