Young and Tough

From: Russ

I think this photo shows how boys become socialized into becoming masculine. The weight shows how even at young ages, boys become accustomed to lifting weights in order to increase their physical size. He is wearing a grim face, and is flexing to show off his masculinity. There is a Ravens poster in the background showing where he gets allot of his cues from, and a skateboard to symbolize toughness as well. His shoulders are turned toward to the poster to signify his real interest in the media, but he is looking at the camera to show he has power, but goes with the flow.
