This is Nathaniel
Nathaniel’s dream is to get closer to God and to make sure his mom is happy.
Nathaniel is currently four years old and carrying wood with his two sisters down a dusty cart-road in an unmarked Amish village somewhere between Allegheny and Tionesta, Pennsylvania. In pauses between talking to me, he looks sideways at his older sisters, who peacefully nod towards him. I tell him that he looks big and strong and then I help him carry the wood to his parents’ home, where he lives with his other nine brothers and sisters.

What are you doing in PA?? We just came from there!
Hehe – I am up here for a conference on economics and meeting with a bunch of think-tanks.
This photo made me cry a little bit.
Hey Trey — he looks like he’s about to slug you. (Did he?)
No… He was a nice kid. I think what you are seeing is general confusion, a look I am used to seeing in the mirror.
That is an amazing image, I love the expression and tones of this
I am so impressed with your work…I accidentally stumbled on HDR photography a couple of hours ago and somehow ended up on your site…your images are amazing. His eyes are so striking in this one..
Did you need to get a model release form from him?
dumb question…..but is this RAW or JPEG?
Hi there, I love your photos… wondering if you’ve ever done one of Texas Bluebonnets… I bet it would be beautiful!
The boy’s photo looks like a painting. Great work.
Do you know that your huge header doesn’t show up on the iPad? At least on mine.
Another reason to get rid of it.
Hello(:
I love your art and I was just wondering if you have a profile on Deviantart.com
It is a great sight and I am sure you would get alot of new fans if you made one(:
Sorry Trey but this picture just doesn’t do it for me.
It looks too painterly, which is of course fine if you want a painting, but I prefer a photo to look like a photo.
