Freckles

When I was in high school, I was bullied for so many reasons- one of them was,i wear too much freckles- I hated them- (both bullies and my freckles.)Then, one time I was watching TV- I don't remember exactly what show it was but its typical love story.--about a girl who fell in love with a guy,etc.etc...and I'll never forget her pick up lines and she told him, "I like you and your freckles are so damn cute & turns me on":)!so since then, my freckles didn't bother me no more-now I know why I got bullied-I turned this "douchebaggers"on:)--'twas not a happy ending tho', my ex- wife hated them so much,she divorced me-----kidiiiiing,hA!!:)

[Joan Robillard]

Been there well no ex but bullies can be cruel and can play with our minds. Tall for a girl and buck teeth.

My daughter called hers "sparkles".

I have freckles all over! Great shot.

[Nicole Campbell]

I have freckles, my girls have freckles and we think they are cute! They make you the person you are. I always call them sun kisses and that sun must love you!

[bruni]

I have freckles and they've never bothered me. I think they're cute even on a boy.

Not just 'anyone' can wear freckles - but you do and very well :)
Nice selfie :)

[Call me Joe]

@janewinfrey thanksJane--- not my selfie tho'- he's my neighbors nephew:)

[Jane winfrey]

Well you didn't specify that lol Okay... you should really post a selfie now so we can see 'your' freckles lol

[Nancy]

I too had freckles...my uncles always said I stood too close to the rear end of a cow...nice huh...!? Sorry they bullied you..:-)

[Rachel]

I think freckles are adorable. Kids can be so cruel, and pick on such silly things. Sorry you were bullied, and I hope you love your freckles now.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Nothing wrong with freckles - now bullies are a whole different story...

Wonderful image Joey!!

[Joy's Focus]

Kind of a sad portrait. Goes well with the sad bully story.
Hope your friend's nephew is doing well. Glad he's still letting you use him for a model.

[Trinda Love]

Fav, I really like this portrait and its complexity

[Yao RL]

this is an excellent creepy snot.

[Nick]

Cool looking shot.

[vstap]

Evocative and slightly menacing!

[Clare Gadsby]

Great portrait. A sad tale of the high school bullies. When they see your photos making big money in a gallery they might have to change their attitudes ;)

[Chris P]

never had freckles now I feel I am missing out ;)

[Gillian]

Love your story! And the freckles! :)

[Paula W]

Freckles are cute - full stop!

[Susan]

A powerful image, Joey. High school couldn't end fast enough for many of us i think.

[Debbie]

I was always told as a kid they were sun kisses :) xx

[Kerstin]

I really like the portrait, it looks like it's a still from a movie!

[Marnie Jones]

i really really like this, fav!

[Edwin Ramos]

@janewinfrey agree with what you said. @joemuli you should post your selfie now. So we can see your cute freckles and I like freckles too.
