This is what the scene looked like with my fabric pinned to the wall and the single window light. You just have to make it happen with what you're given.

What I wanted was a shot of a boy that had just lost his teeth. I never could make it happen the way I had it in my mind. And, the light was sinking fast.

Here's one more silly pic.

Hi Mike,

What an adorable kid! I LOVE his expression in the first 2 images (is #2 really a closeup of #1?) I also like the idea of having his Mom's arms draped over his shoulder... it gives a real sense of how small/young he is. Just wish you'd included her face as well, having her cut off at the shoulders feels a bit awkward to me
