Fond Memory

OK, now that I got you this far with the HCB reference (bless him and

the wonderful photo's he's left behind for us) I'd appreciate

feedback on the image, particularly the subjects position. I've

intentionally broken one of "the rules" relative to composition by

framing him exiting the shot, as opposed to moving into the picture

(still pretty close on the rule of 3rds, though). Also, any thoughts

are welcome on the mood generated as well. Thankya

I love the feeling of space and movement in your image, and the rich blues give it a wistful atmosphere--excelllent in every way.

Thanks, Yeung. I appreciate the comment, particularly in light of your great b/w portfolo's. Reminds me I need to post more of my darkroom work.

I feel as if you captured something we all wish we still had to this day and that is the freedom and innocence of such a wonderful childhood. Just my opinion, though, for what it is worth.

I think of all your pictures, I enjoy this one the most. It does bring back fond memories of childhood and unfortunatly of those things we leave behind. kb
