Parisian Kid

I can't believe it was so long ago now that I photographed this shot

on a trip to Paris, France. My first and only time. Paris est un

belle ville.

 

Please let me know what you think? Maybe I was a better photographer

10 years ago.

6/6 "By the moment". And don't worry, if I change my mind it will be for 7s, not less. :)

I agree with David.

The kid's eyes say so much about his suffering. If it wasn't for my personal guilt I would love to do this sort of photography.

Absolutely stunning. This is excellent work. Too many photos here lacking emotional content. I work on the streets and know how difficult it is to capture a moment like this. Thank you for this image.

Gorgeous. Haunting. Stunning.

 

Beautiful use of tonality. Has a very vintage feel to it beyond its ten years of age.

 

I respect the spacing that you used between your camera and the subject. You didn't just go up to their face and snap away. You kept a respectful distance and didn't make a show out of their suffering. That's what I respect.

Yes Ringo, I changed my mind.

 

Aesthetics and ethics are here.

 

It reminds me of the expreesion of the 4th world. My eyes were caught several times by this image. I believe the meanings behind this photo is more meanful.

This is a wonderful picture, depicting something I know way too much about. It springs many emotions in me. Great job. 7/7

Love It!!!

A very intense picture. Tone and grain work very well too.

Thank you all for your comments. This is my favourite picture of all the work I have done. Judging by the ratings not everyone agrees with me.

 

Cheers,

Ringo

I rated it a 7/7 even though it's far from perfect. But it's really fucking sad and I honestly hate the world when I have to look at shit like this.

 

Not many photos can evoke that kind of reaction.

 

And there's something Christian about the blanket (looks a bit like a shroud), something that evokes Christian suffering.

Great Shot!!
