At The Park, Lower East Side

This kid and his Dad were playing at the park. The kid was literally climbing the walls or ,in this case, fences. I love that he has a feather in his hair - I don't know how healthy that is but kids are strong.

The "trad" kid on the scooter is also part of the family - I'm seeing a Family Ties meets the Lower East Side sitcom in the future for this family

I love this! It's wonderful to see a glimpse of life somewhere and hearing a little about that moment. Keep up these little stories...they are great. Maybe one day you could interview them too!

LOVE love love this post!
What a beautifully quirky kid!

He will have full on dreds in a couple of years.

That photo of him should be in a gallery.

Thanks for all the great photos and fashion booty!

Not that many brave hippies with their families climbing walls on big cities...I guess an encounter of this sort is magical then: a brief never-land.

How cute! He looks like he just escaped from a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

I can't help saying "I just love this kid and the picture as a whole!"
That is why I love NY.
By the way, this is my fist time leaving a comment on your blog.
I simply enjoy your shots.
Thank you~

I was going to say that the kid totally looks like peter pan, but someone beat me to it.

Too sweet to be "Lord of the Flies." Definitely one of the Lost Boys from "Peter Pan."

 

Blogger Laurence John said ... (4:38 AM) : 

why is everyone going all misty-eyed over a white family with dreadlocks ?

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:09 AM) : 

ah, child of the unicorn. doesn't look like a feather to me - but...why would a feather or whatever in your hear NOT be healthy? bacteria train the immunesystem; we become allergic and UNhealthy if we are too hygienic. anti-bacteria? don't believe the hype! lovely pictures though..

to whatwouldjanicedickinsondo

don't forget that the other kid in the photo (on the scooter) is also part of the family and he could not be more well groomed with his perfect side-parted hair. I got the feeling that the parents were letting their kids express themselves.

Lets be honest, all little boys want to be like their fathers so his hair really doesn't surprise me and i think it is a sweet expression of love for dad. I bet if dad had a mohawk the little boy would want one too.

ADORABLE!!
I think u should do an nyc kids only blog..
how cool would that be..
maybe marc jacobs new kids line will sponsor it..

The kid eerily reminds me of the Native-American themed collection we just got from D&G. Looked awful on the runway, but maybe he can pull it off.

Great pictures!

herringbonekid, you stated it PERFECTLY.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:06 AM) : 

The kid almost reminds me of a tarzan-est child, but in a very different kind of jungle

 

Blogger WWND said ... (12:34 PM) : 

A New York City kid, looking like that! Great photo, Sart!!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (9:12 PM) : 

Oh Jeez! whatwouldjanicedicksondo!! The kid is off in the park with his dad!!!He isn't attending a state event! For us city folks the play ground is the eqivalent of the back yard. You wear in the play groundwhat one would wear in the back yard to muck about.

There is time and place for kids to be in their bib and tucker. The park just isn't one of them unless you plan to set up a massive therapy fund to go along with the fancy play ground clothing.

He looks like he ran straight off the set of Jungle 2 Jungle. Adorable.

just watched a few minutes of Mad Max beyond thunderdome last night, and this kid could have been rolling with Gibson

 

Blogger Kelli said ... (12:35 PM) : 

They are such boys - uninhibited is right! I love it. Both shots are great and I cannot look at them without smiling!!!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:31 AM) : 

whatwouldjanicedickinsondo,

that was an ignorant comment... thank you for sharing

how is it that having dreadlocks will not instill a sense of pride in a child? in all actuality I would say that will instill a deep sense of pride in him where he would learn to not care what ignorant twits (such as people with limited experience with people who don't look like them) might think of him

shameful? you even thinking to type that was shameful

This is such a great picture. These kids are so lucky that their dad just lets them "hang out". No perfect outfits, hair required. It's tough in an urban environment and I give him full marks for this. The kids are beautiful and will probably be really cool adults.

so..amazing..really:);
i assume both parents are great!
