Re: PAW - First Haircut
Very cute. I wish that brush on the left of his head was just a bit less intruding into his head. The difference between the barber and your grandson's look on their faces is great. Obviously someone had more fun than the other. It tells a nice story. Thanks for sharing, Bruce Saturday, June 19, 2004, 8:10:59 PM, you wrote: G Took my Grandson to get his first haircut.

Re: PAW - First Haircut
I like this one a LOT Gonz. Perfect BW Photo. Only change would I'd have liked is to have the items on the counter frame his face a little better. Great family photo though.

A marvelous picture. Everything but the people just out of focus and those two expressions. Give a copy to the barber for her collection. Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: PAW - First Haircut
Actually, Frank, Norman Rockwell was a great photographer. All his painting were first shot on film in his studio then he painted the picture using the photo as a reference. Remember, he started out before color photography. I tend to think of him as an illustrator rather than an artist myself. Maybe the best illustrator of American life who ever lived. Of course American life is no longer much like what he illustrated, and probably was never quite as nice as he made it out to be. -- frank theriault wrote: Boris, Norman Rockwell: http://www.illustration-house.com/bios/rockwell_bio.html He was an illustrator, quite famous for his American patriotic and slice o' life magazine cover illustrations. He seemed to specialize in tow-headed youths, doing stuff like getting haircuts, going fishin' and stuff like that. I don't know that he was a great artist, or even an artist at all (whatever the heck an artist is - sorry, don't want to get into that one again g), but he was a wonderful and well-loved illustrator in his time. I don't know that he captured America in the 40's and 50's, rather I think he presented a fantasy of what Middle America thought it wanted itself to be. I seem to recall that he painted more than one (but at least one) young boy in a barber's chair, which is why I thought of him when I saw Gonz' photo. Despite what may seem a cynical view of old Norman, I meant it as a compliment when I mentioned Rockwell in the context of the photo. cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.

Yes, as I was looking at the photos shot during this occasion, this one was my favorite and I thought it would make a nice gift to the barber/stylist.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wonderful shot, Gonz!! Thank you. You caught the moment there, not only the grandson, but the semi-scowl of the barber (do we call them stylists these days?). Yes, she kept telling me to keep her out of the frame, but this one was just too tempting! I'm sure she'll appreciate a copy though. I saw someone else mentioned that darned brush. Yeah, too bad, but it was there, you saw the smile, you had to snap. Nothing you could do about it, and had you moved, the moment would've been lost. It really doesn't detract, but it would have been a teeny bit better if it wouldn't have been there. Exactly. You don't have time to recompose in those moments. A wonderful photograph. It's like a Norman Rockwell sort of shot. thanks, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J.

I knew that I had possibly a real interesting shot when I snapped it, but it wasn't until I went home and looked at them that I realized what a classic set of expressions were there. I had been concentrating on his face when it happened, so I did not know that she would look like that. This one is going on my wall. Regards, R. Gonz Regards, Bob S.
