Sincerely, Jukka

Jukka, I seldom comment on photographs that do not have a statement of intent or that asks a specific question. However, I do find this photograph particularly interesting so I would like to know more about the photograph and what if anything it is that you wish the photograph to convey about this father and son.

Briefly here is what I find interesting: the positioning of the two figures, both being so close to the frame of the image; the distance between the two; the statement the photograph makes about the interests, or their diversions of the moment, of the two individuals, the father with the camera, the son with the drums; the difference in the sharpness between the two; the fact that neither is directly relating to the other, each seems to be in his own world.

Since photographs create relationships between the various elements included this photograph could be experienced in different ways. I would find it interesting to know more about your thinking about the photograph. Do you personally see it as simply a snapshot of possibly a friend or relative and his son, a method of preserving a memory of an event? Or do you see it as making a statement about the two individuals and their relationships? It is a very interesting, very intriguing photograph.
