Nice shot. Classic. -----Original Message----- From: frank theriault <knarftheria...@gmail.com> Date: Sun, 16 May 2010 07:35:32 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List<PDML@pdml.net> Subject: PESO - New Toy Truck
I sat on this one for a while, not really knowing what to do with it - for several reasons. First of all, there's that silly "no cropping film especially from my rangefinder" rule. I've since realized that while it's not my preference, sometimes it just has to be done. Second of all, that background, especially the ads in the window of the used/discount computer place was pissing me off. But there's just something about the look in the kid's eyes, the way he's hiding his face behind the truck, his whole body language that I find very compelling. Then I realized that those signs are part of this story in some way. Distracting they may be, but they say something about the neighbourhood where this was taken. I'm walking down Parliament Street in Toronto's Cabbagetown late in the winter when I see this kid with his father. He's playing with this truck. I start chatting and compliment him on the toy. He tells me that his dad just gave it to him that day. I ask him and his dad if they'd like me to take a photo of the boy and his new toy and both agree. Hope you enjoy: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-toy-truck.html Comments welcome. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
