School Children, North End, Saint John

One of my favorite photos . g.

 

 

Very happy to taste again your photographs, Ian :-))

Fully based on the reality, artistic capture of the moments, perfect expression through photographic language ..., all those are so concrete and maintained within all your works with same integrity ... .

Bravo your works ! Bravo your life !

 

I like this ability to take a photo that appears to be from 100 years ago. Something very classic about this image. I wonder what it would like in Sepia tone. Probably add even further to the perceived age of the photograph.

maybe one or two steps closer this shot could have been great, now its only good :-)

Ian, your photograph is great. And please don't pay attention to the negative comments of some of the imbeciles who use this site. (Like the one from the idiot who says your photo is just good) Envy is terrible. Salue mon ami!

I don't mind the criticism that was made, and don't believe it deserves to be trampled on. I do disagree with it though. A little closer and you might exclude the little boy on the left running away from this beautiful procession/recession of kids. The little boy and the bit of space to the left gives added visual dimension, makes it look all the more interesting. That works also as irony/humor in light of the main theme (i.e. nun and school children). It's a beautiful and rare picture. It does harken back to a time in the past almost in a haunting way. That nun especially.

One of those rare photos that make you sit, pause and think of the beauty of ordinary objects under a new light. How did you "see" this shot? Please, tell. Thanks for sharing!

I keep coming back to look at this photo again and again.

Ian this is a great shot,as all in your portfolio are.

A fascinating shot, really marvelous, beautifully captured!

Wow. Awesome shot. Wondering what year this was taken.

Another incredible one. Congratulation and thanks for sharing.

Wonderful photo!!

ian - this is the technical calibre and visual sophistication of work i aspire to. carry on - vikram.

There was a time when digital was below zero, and yours is the proof.

The image is stand alone text volume of values and customs of the generation that brought us to the current time of underestimation of everything.

My utmost regards.
