I had the pleasure of photographing these beautiful young men last weekend. What a joy to see kids thoroughly thrilled with nature and exploration. The oldest was confident that he would not have a good time and would not smile. He looked at me 5 minutes into the shoot, after he'd jumped off a crate and swung his sword a few times, and said "this is not at all what i thought this was going to be like". I'm so very glad!
