Lifequest22 said at 11:29 p.m. on Oct 12, 2008: What a great moment you captured. The sign and the smiling little guy in the cab are perfect. Was he smiling at you taking his photo.
Pkeener said at 11:35 p.m. on Oct 12, 2008: yes, he saw me. i was bemused by the sign and the lil guy, and when he saw me, i stayed with him. It was pure joy. i couldn't have asked for a better set up.
Wflorence said at 12:06 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: Perfect!!!
Jigs said at 12:08 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: I'm delighted by the serendipity and irony of it all — the sign for the movie about alienating people in wonderful funny contrast to the beautiful smiling face of that little boy! Sweet is right! :-)
Abking said at 12:19 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: Perfect moment. Couldn't change a thing. Sweet and happy!
Nina1960 said at 1:09 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: Pam, the sign and the little one are perfect...great pictures.
Mariusblack said at 1:20 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: a rare moment! such a joy this moment is. the irony and lesson. see, children are often the better teachers. love it, Pam! =)
Dan22man said at 1:24 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: So, how to lose friends?
Sirnicolay said at 4:29 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: Hahaha! At first I was looking at the title.. Then the kid just popped out in the second picture. This is very clever, Pam! Such irony. :)
Wildthing said at 4:51 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: The sign pulled me first. Thought it must be a credo for NY taxi drivers. Realized that if so, it would have been in Polish or some other language. Then spotted the boy, whose face lit up at having his photograph taken. Great sequence, Pam.
Andre. said at 4:54 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: LOOL...I know how:)
Welshchick said at 6:07 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: Hey, were you the lady I saw out there in heavy traffic playing PEEK-A-BOO with the drivers? :^D...This is so precious~ Love it!
Leftofcenter said at 7:12 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: omg Keener this is just priceless!!! that face!!! and looking right at ya!!! loool he's adorable and you caught a moment in time!! and the sign on the cab adds to the sweet whackiness!
Pkeener said at 9:23 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: Don't you just love the serendipity and irony? as Jigs put it so nicely. Moments like this really make me appreciate the world we live in, and as Marius said, look to the children. James, i love it! it's why i didnt explain the tabblo in the title. i wanted you all to let it hit you. Andre and Dan and Mike, that sign was so great!! I will let you figure it out amongst yerselves. ;) I think i will have to see that movie, now, for sure. Rhonda, I have been known to do that, but i don't think Manhattan is the place to try it ;) Thank you MArion! and Leftie, I knew you were gonna love it. i almost put it in TGIF, but, i guess i will wait til friday. Allan, Shots happen, oh yeah! Den yes, !!!

Beatiful! It seem a Children Day advertisment!!!! (Sorry, I don´t know if in the Statesit is celebrate. If don´t you can start with this Tabblo!).
Liliana said at 10:02 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: I also like that other baby (a baby in pink) is passing in the back, too! So, all the enviroment is "for" the shot. And the taxi, the word, all so so so newyorker! It seems a piece of a film... for us, of course.
Bxrgirl27 said at 10:10 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: Oh my goodness - how cute is that little guy! He was totally lovin having you take his picture. The sign, the cab, the colors - it all works to a Tee!

Pkeener said at 11:37 a.m. on Oct 13, 2008: Bertil, thank you, at times, it's almost like an Albatross around my neck, heavy, thief target, woried about damaging it, etc, but I am always glad at the end of the day. Bob, NYC can really get to me, too. So many people everywhere, all the time.
