I'm nuts too, that picture is awesome. Is it a photo collage (photoshop), or was it actually staged? Or is it a photorealistic painting? Is it a random internet find or is there a known artist or what's the story?

You're right, that is an awesome photograph, in the true-not-over-used sense of the word.

I'm guessing the picture was taken in the Southwestern US.
The Native American painting in the background looks familiar, but I can't place it. I'd like to find a high res version.

Ditto. My son has the same. Shame that the helmet is too small for an adult head... it really hurts trying to get it on...

I'll bet, I mean... yeah.

Why do you assume that question is linked ONLY to your fascination with the photograph?

Nobody will play with him. They're all so mean to him. But they'll be sorry someday.

Oh. Yes. They. Will.
