The Crying Boy - a photo on Flickriver

The Crying Boy

            The theme: 'Crying People' occupies me for a while. I find it very challenging: to present a good photo of a crying person. 
Specifically, with this photo I struggle for quiet some time: he was too close to me when I took the photo.
If I still remember correctly, the reason to his cry was that an older boy grabbed his snack from his hand

Israel is a tiny country; therefore, generally, people meet their relatives very often.
Today, my eldest daughter (24) flew to India for about half a year or so.
(it is very common among Israeli youngsters to go for a long trip, more or less at this stage of life).
She was never away for such a long time.
Therefore, in some senses, I can identify with him…
(she is the one in my buddy icon, some 24 years ago...)

p.s.
Was the kitsch painting of 'The Crying Boy' famous in your countries (during the '70s-'80s) too?
