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?
