Happy Monday, Or, Para Los Niños

.
Hispanic Festival 2012-09-08 5

Hello to the beginning of the work week. Ever feel like this on Monday morning?

The Hispanic Festival had something for everyone, including children. Well, maybe not stiff, boring WASPS but definitely good stuff for the kiddies - face painting, balloon animals and hats, and puppets. They had a musical show so why en la tierra were they singing in English rather than Spanish? The music was recorded, of course, and it would have been so easy: para bailar La Bamba se necicita una poca de gracia...

That boy at the bottom is one of my better portraits, IMHO. Such liquid eyes.

    The boy in your last photo looks like he is deep in thought.

    Great colorful portraits. A lot to see in your site, your verve on Latin music, sure it was fun. And congrats for your magnificent series of The Color Run, I wish I had been there!

    I like the shot of the girl covering her face.

    Just as long as one of them isn't Elmo. That muppet is an accursed abomination....

    They would have fit in perfectly at the Haninge festival.
