Hobbyists, no matter what the hobby is, are serious little beings at that age. You've caught that. You wouldn't have done if he'd posed.pentaxuser

He's obviously very intent on getting the thing going!

I'm glad he didn't pose. That's why it's my favorite photo from couple of rolls worth. I haven't got a telephoto for the Yashica, so stealth photography isn't possible. People notice, ask how old it is, and pose...... This musician was just too focused.

I can feel his intensity entirely without seeing his eyes. Very nice.

Please excuse my south-of-the-border ignorance here... The "Navy League Cadets" I can piece together from the shoulder patches. But what does the full "N.L.C.C. J.P. BELL" across the hat all stand for?

Navy League Cadet Corps. I've got no clue about JP Bell. Any body else know? Googling it just found the Navy league, a photographer, a metal worker......I gave up and ate dinner instead.
