Today’s photo, shot on an iPhone, is of a lovely child—I Gede Dillon—whom I met here in Amed, Bali (Indonesia) several days ago. He’s 6 months old…and half Balinese, half British and 100% adorable!
Dillon--1/2 Balinese, 1/2 British baby
I’ve had so much fun getting to know him and photographing him that I just had to share one of his photos with you. He has a wide range of facial expressions and, at times, looks older and seems more mature than his actual age. He’s playful and sweet.
I must admit that I’ve grown rather attached to him over the past few days (and I don’t look forward to saying goodbye). It’s been a pleasure getting to know him–and I hope that, based on this photo, you can see why!
By the way…his mom, Emma, is from Yorkshire, England. And his dad, Dilly, is from Bali (Amed).
Note: The “I” in his name means “Mister” and the “Gede” means ‘first born.’ In Bali, many first-born children are known as ‘Wayan.’ Emma, however, chose the alternative Gede because she preferred it.
Your Thoughts/Experiences
Like photographing children? I do, but I’ll admit that it’s sometimes a challenge. They move fast! Dillon was tricky, but when he sat still, taking his photo was really fun.

Thanks, Sky! I definitely thought so…and he was sweet to hang out with. Glad I got to spend time with him…
Ohmygod he’s such a cutie! Love those chubby little cheeks! I want to pinch the screen. As I type this, I’m saying out the words in baby talk in my head.

Hi, Tom. Glad you see it, too! I really connected with him…was hard to say goodbye.
Love your comment/s, btw. You always crack me up!!
PS: Did you pinch the screen? LOL
Glad my comments make you chuckle
I tried to pinch the screen but couldn’t get a good grip for optimal cheek pinching.

He, he, he…
Thanks everyone for your comments he is a cutey! Well apart from right now when he’s screaming at the top of his lungs because he’s tired
Hi, Emma. So happy that I met the two of you! PS: I hear him screaming right now–LOL.–through cyberspace. Maybe he’s teething?
What a cupcake! Totally adorable baby
Congrats on the photo…it kinda looks like a pencil drawing.

Thank you, Ana! I think you’re right–it does look like a drawing of some sort. I must give credit to the iPhone app I used–Noir.
