He walked into my classroom that first day sporting a grin underneath a bristle of hair sticking straight up into the air, looking like a shrunk up version of Howard Jones around the same time Doc Emmet Brown sent Marty McFly careening through the circuits of time via a DeLorean.
Needless to say, it caught my eye.
At recess I found myself outside walking next to him.
“I like your hair,” I said with an offhanded glance.
“Really? Thanks, Mr. Z.”
“It reminds me of the mane of a unicorn.”
The boy grinned, tossed his head, and then galloped away.
A few weeks later I snapped this image—used with his mother’s permission, of course. I’m sure she’s a fan of Mr. Jones as well…after all, who isn’t?

Are mohawks back in style? Seems they reappear about every 20 years or so. Great capture. :)
love the imagery both visual and literary. :-)
Now that's one confident boy!
What a neat photo. he pulls it off!
What a great post! and what a great picture. I could feel the boys spirit jump when you said you liked his hair. :) How great!
Very cool indeed! :-)
The mane of a unicorn is quite the visual. Great photo.
"He galloped away." That made me laugh. So funny.
love this shot... perfect.
one of the players on our soccer team just got a mohawk and i think it empowered him. and funny, but the photo that made me smile most this week was that of them playing at sunset...

What a great shot! Good for him for expressing himself as he sees best!
I have definately noticed more and more kids wearing mohawks in the past year or two. I like the colored ones :-D
Digging the mohawk. Am I too old to pull it off?
Yeah...I thought so
Nice hawk....I wish I could talk one of my boys to wear one....I almost talked the youngest one into it, but then he backed out on me,lol.
Mohawks are awesome. I don't care what anyone says.
This is a great photo! Love your perspective! And your writing!
What a cool photo. My son has a fauxhawk that we do every now and then. I will be sharing photos of him soon.
Makes me want to get out my clippers.... ;)
