A Closer Look (Part 12)

Kaunas, Lithuania, 1928. Here's another example of a child with his "adult face." This is my Dad at the party at which he likely first met my Mom. Whenever Dad showed me this photograph, he noted he was upset at the time because he hated the hat the hostess had assigned to him. People who provoked Dad will recognize this quiet expression of icy contempt and broody warning.

Here's the original post for this photo. Ah! What Dad would have done with digital-photo technology.
