For the Photogroup 101 "B&W/Monochrome" Theme day.
Phillipe a little French boy wants to be an Elvis Presley Impersonator like his father Steve King when he grows up. He is watching his father perform at the "Legend of Elvis" show at the Hunter Valley Gardens NSW Australia. You can see the admiration in this little fellow's eyes so I took his photo using it here with permisson from his parents. Thankyou for looking. ~Pat and Graham

  He is so cute, and I love that hair! Funny too because Justin went through a stage where he liked Elvis and would do his hair similar to this boy's. I always thought that was strange that Justin liked Elvis because I didn't really care for him, so it isn't like this boy having a father who impersonates Elvis.

  Hi there Carol, the mother does the childrens hair, puts stuff on it to make it stick up, the three boys have the same hair style.

Young Phillipe said he wanted to be like his dad when he grew up, such a handsome child he was too! Fancy Justin taking a liking to Elvis lol and you didn't really care for him.

The wife wears her hair like Priscilla Presley did. I have a photo of her too but there is a lot of backbround clutter I need to get rid of first.

Thankyou for dropping by!

~Pat

  What a very nice portrait, Pat -- he does look like a young Elvis. The details and tones are great.

  What a superb portrait capture of this handsome young man, Pat...and the monochromatic tones here are perfect!! You can certainly see the admiration in Phillipe's expression!! :o)

I guess it's understandable that he might want to follow in his father's footsteps one day, and become an Elvis impersonator, too!! ;o)
