Description A timeless capture of kids playing in the yard. I had to stand around for a while to wait them out untill they stopped looking at my camera curiously and continued with their games.

Photo pleine de nostalgie trés tendre...
Je vois que tu travailles avec un Minolta, mon premier reflex il y a 25 ans était un X700 que j'ai toujours, avec un rideau en tissu
Encore pour cette vision qui fait remonter des souvenirs à mon esprit

... and this is life. I love life captured on black and white photos...

Especially children are very natural on this kind of shots

Great, great...

nice, the black and white is quite good considering its a digital image. ever considered trying black and white film? images such as this would be even more loverly in that medium.

i really like the aged look of this. i know you just took it a few weeks ago, but it could have come from the great depression, in the time of our grandparents. the trip down memory lane was shorter than we expected, eh?

dinyctis [2006-08-30 23:31:26 +0000 UTC]

The two kids are clearly pimps and gangsters (matching jewelry) and the girl is their hoe. The blonde kid has his pimping supplies in the box and now the other kid is taking the girl to a shed (visible at the top left) in which shes gonna be shown what happens when business is slow!

Also, the blond kid is looking at you thinking "Man, the money I could make with that one...where's my pimp cane?"

mcismowski [2006-08-30 22:41:41 +0000 UTC]

I love how bent out of shape the wheels are. It's refreshing to see kids still able to enjoy something that is so worn out. Much better than when they always want the latest and greatest toys and games.
