favorite friday: image of the day

this is my pick today because:

• the little boy is my most willing subject most days. this will probably end soon as his older brother is getting more difficult with each passing day!
• i took this soon after getting my dslr, i was constantly bugging the guys to let me take their picture (pretty much the same as every day) and he was probably kind of sick of it here
• he looks cute & sweet & i didn't even have to pose him
• after looking at this photo, i realized that where he's standing in a hallway in the center of our house, he's getting north light on his left, south light on his right, at the same time... inside the house no less, and it kind of sets up like a natural reflector. this probably sounds like jibberish but in my photographer's mind, it seems kind of neat
