Here's the trick: to photograph Senon he has to think you're taking someone else's picture. I've never been able to get a decent picture of him before, but when I was just playing with the kids, taking pictures randomly, I suddenly noticed I'd captured something of this captivating child.

Anyone will tell you that Senon's a special child. And I don't just mean his miraculous discovery in a garbage can some minutes after he was born and abandoned there. He has a winning, if reserved, personality.

He's in a room full of age-mates who are camera hogs. Try taking a picture of someone other than Nikka, and she'll grab the camera out of your hand. You have to do everything on the sly.

And Dennis and Jay are just so boisterous and charis-matic, Senon must feel like he's invisible sometimes. He's often a little melancholy, and his development is a little bit delayed, but his quiet charm is captivating.

Senon, we have to catch your smile off-guard; but that makes it all the more guarded a treasure.
