On a mid-winter trip to Sante Fe, my wife and I passed through Texico, on the Texas/New Mexico border. The downtown was quiet, and this boy figurine (about 4 or 5 inches high) sat in a musty, old shop window. The direct sunlight he faced every day had aged him, but his red tie and his proud, innocent smile charmed me. He seemed optimistic and unashamedly happy, just as young boys should be. Medium: Film
