Description
With permission from Jamaul's mother, I captured his wary look as he sat on the front stoop of his home in the Black Pearl Neighborhood of New Orleans. He is enjoying a frozen treat as so many kids have done for years in this family oriented neighborhood - trying to "beat the heat" of New Orleans in the Summer.
For additional historical information about this neighborhood, please see the description in my Black Pearl Gallery

Cheri, Oh, what an adorable little boy. This precious photo speaks to my heart. I love your work and plan to view more of it this evening. Thank you for your gracious comment about my picture of me when I was younger. Yes, I think schoolmarmish is a word. If it's not, we can officially make it one. You really cheered me up with your kind words.... P.S. There is a Carrollton, VA, just about 5 miles from here. However I know they whole scenario is very different from the Carollton you mentioned in one of your descriptions. Smiles, Anne F/V

Thanks, Lenore, for the comment and support. I'm glad that you appreciated "the look" - it's one that we can all relate to, I guess.
