The Wonder of Boys: The World Through a Boys' Eyes
Karen Henrich
From a very young age, boys know who they are, and they tackle the world with all the passion and spirit they can muster. A boy celebrates finding a frog in a pond or hearing the ice-cream truck on a summer day, and at the end of the day, a hug and a kiss from his mom or dad gives him the same joy and satisfaction he experiences all day long. The contagious spirit and courageous sense of adventure of boys allows them to teach us to celebrate every event in life, whether that be a chance to find a mud puddle to stomp around in or an opportunity to throw a football or a baseball in the backyard with other kids from the neighborhood.
Once upon a time it was said, "Snips, snails, and puppy-dog tails, that's what little boys are made of." Karen Henrich sees much more than that through the lens of her camera. In the exuberant, expressive faces of boys she sees into their souls and glimpses their sense of unending, insatiable wonderment and their beautiful, tender hearts. Her photographs share all of that and remind us that life goes by all too fast, not only for boys, but for all of us. "As you see a glimpse of a boy's soul through his expression, it is my wish that you will take a moment to share in their wonderment and their world." Through the images in The Wonder of Boys, we can experience our world anew.
Welcome to the wonderful world of boys.
