Pretending he's one of his favorite players on Mexico's Chivas soccer team Adolfo Gonzalez, Jr., 4, kicks the ball around the backyard of his Una, S.C. home.
Twelve years ago, Adolofo's grandfather and uncle came to Una from their home in Hidalgo, Mexico in search of work and a better life. Eight years ago, his father Adolfo Gonzalez, Sr., followed. He brought Adolofo's mom and older brother with him, and a few years later, Gonzalez Jr. and his two sisters were born here in the U.S. Although Gonzalez Sr. cannot vote in either South Carolina primary because he is not a U.S. citizen yet, he is very interested in the outcome because it may very well immigration issues in the state. "I don't think any of [the Republicans] are a good choice for the Mexicans," he said.
He was such a cute kid, until he hit me with a snowball.
Haha, radness. Try ducking next time. ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny. I was bobbing and weaving while shooting, and managed to avoid about 95% of his throws. The one that hit me actually hit me in the side, unfortunately, at the exact spot where my camera was hanging off my shoulder. Something between the cold and the wet freaked my camera out and it went down for a while.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I didn't hit him back. =)
