Ooooooh, Rosario. Talk about a clash of the Titans! Rosario wanted to be a “sneaky kid,” was probably a “sneaky kid” in a previous year of school, and Mrs. White, the teacher, doesn’t roll with the “sneaky kids.” They get under my skin. So our year last year began…a habitually late Rosario, a flash of a smile from Miss Rosario, and a bevy of excuses. It didn’t take long for this habit to get O.L.D. As a result, Rosario and I butted heads. Forehead to forehead. Eyeball to eyeball.

Fastforward a few months, and Rosario was one of the ring leaders to throw a birthday party for me. We’re talking an all out fiesta with balloons, banners, and food! She even made sure to coordinate my gringo favorites – Cheetos and Dr. Pepper.

So, when she and Jose asked me to do their portraits, I knew we were in for some fun!

This shot, with a perfect ’10 for the class of 2010, had us climbing on TOP of the caboose!
