This picture of a cute San Francisco boy was taken at the Japanese Tea Garden in the Golden Gate Park. Basically, seeing my heafty camera and lenses, his parents assumed I'm a professional photographer working for some pictorial magazines from Asian countries. So they joked their kid that if he keeps getting in my way, he might end up on some magazine covers. But he seemed to like the idea so he tried staying in the picture while I was taking pictures of my friend. Usually people get quite intimidated by cameras and become quite shy or uneasy with very rigid smiles. But he is quite different. So with the permission from his parents, I took this picture. Hope he could become a true "Cover Boy" when he grows up.
