toothless
by Kathy Wolfe ~ April 18, 2008
We scoured the neighborhood, skipping down the street, jump roping here and there, for the yard with the greenest grass. It is still just Spring here in PA, after all..and not all the green is in yet. We found a beautiful one..and decided to take a nice little rest. Why do I photograph children? What other “job” allows you to lay in neighbors green grasses on your belly on a warm spring day, taking photographs of little toothless laughing girls. It allows me for - in those hours - to really feel life in the uninhibited way they do.. I cant imagine doing anything else…

This is what you were born to do Kathy… These images make me smile and want to get out there and get more images of my toothless children, thank you for the reminder of what our job really is, capturing youth, not just *perfect* images.

Love that toothless grin and the jump-rope picture is so perfect … it’s the quintessential childhood image - it just doesn’t get any better than that.
Happy Spring!

So very real!!! I love that…the colour’s not to shabby either!!! These need to be big, on a wall somewhere so that they can make everyone smile everytime they see them!!
