ray . Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Doesn't look good, but Europeans generally have a different take on these things than Americans might have. She doesn't look too enthusiastic about the idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_lee2 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hah, Jake! But it's also Italian Switzerland, so perhaps not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roland_schmid Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Jay: you don't like to see that huge sharp knife laying so close to Ladislav's daughter. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_m__toronto_ Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 honestly...you don't want your kids to smoke...give em' a try when they're young...they'll feel sick and never touch again. or tell them all their life never to do this as it's "wrong" and that'll be the first thing they try when out of your site. this seems to be the "american" way to raising children.

h._p. Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 A not very good picture of a rather nasty action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 "Not very good" and "rather nasty" are way too polite expressions. Make it "pretty lousy" and "extremely disgusting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chip l. Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Now that Ladislav has stirred the pot, lets hope that he can shed some light on this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulr Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 The 1/2003 issue of Leica World had a picture of a very young Romanian girl smoking. I wonder when she first got here hands on a smoke? Not good Ladislav. I often get the same feeling when I see parents taking their fat kids into fast food places here in America. When are we going to learn.

paulr Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I just looked at your web site. Your other photos are stunning and inspiring. But this one is inspires me to drag you into a cancer hospital for a little education. www.drezdowicz.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julien_bec Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Thanks Paul to make me discover the Ladislav site, it's really great. Ladislav, I'd like to know why you decided to show this picture rather than another, if you wanted to shock our american friends, apparently you succeeded ! Concerning this image, I'd like it, because as the other pictures of Ladislav's web site, it shows peoples' true life. It happens that parents are behaving like that, and Ladislav show it... But I'd also like to know if the girl is really his daughter ??? What I don't like is that the girls look a bit forced to smoke. But we don't really know what is happening : it could be the father that make her smoking, but he could also trying to pick up the cigaret from her mouth as she was smoking in their back ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinden Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 Yes, some of you are right. I wanted to stir the pot and see how much we differentiate between a moral issue and a photographic one. I put the picture in the Leica forum and most of you respond like lay priests not like photographers. By the way, the little girl had great fun showing off in that pose.

I'm sorry Ladislav, but what really did you expect? You started a ridiculous W/NW thread and expect a photo critique? Maybe next you could do a W/NW snuff photography.

art waldschmidt Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Looks like Ladislav's *experiment* provided some *snapshots* of some of the viewers/respondents - sometimes a little restraint can balance out a propensity for zeal and judgement. By the way, Ladislav, your site offers quite a collection of exceptionally compelling images!! - great work! best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
