Justine Shachar, Mr Mcgrotty Face Loses a Tooth (April theme: Detail)

Look at the details. The dirty face, the missing tooth, the stark freckles, unbound energy and grinning enthusiasm. Is this what it means to be a 7 year old boy? Gil has an energy and spark that refuses to dim or slow despite my repeated requests when I photograph him. He is unashamedly who he is and time and time again when I photograph him, I get an emotive and unexpected result.
