Celebrate

Posted by willow (Chelsea, United States) on 1 October 2008 in Sport & Recreation.

This is my son - taken during his soccer debut last week. It's not the best photograph ever taken, but I love the pure joy he is expressing so I had to post it.

Thank you for visiting and commenting and sharing your photos! I love this site and all the people that make it so great. Photography is my passion and this is the perfect place for sharing that passion with other people who feel the same way.

Don't forget Silly Tuesday!!!! For more info see Liner's blog.

Super shot - looks like he's just scored! Maybe one day there will be a similar shot with him all grown up and playing for a major team?

@dobbino: I think he was celebrating that the other team didn't score. He did a lot of celebrating and not a whole lot of kicking in this game - we're thinking he might have a great career as a cheerleader or a mascot ahead of him. He seems to have a lot of fun no matter what he's doing.

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States

Pure joy sums this up nicely, willow. Pure, radiant joy. And I'll take exception to your modesty by saying this comes through in your capture - well done!

Una foto buenísima. El gesto del niño en pleno salto es increible. Nitidez excelente. Buen disparo. Gracias por tu visita y comentario.
