I guess I was around 12 when I took this of my schoolfriends.

Goodness knows why I am posting it !

Because you had very good reason for taking it at the time. I think it's great that you should dig out some of your early negs. This is a gem and probably unique among PNet stock. And, er, how about the year, camera, and film :)

The camera was an Agfa Sillette, an inexpensive fixed lens thing. Can't remember anything else I'm afraid, though it was probably an Ilford film. As for the year, I think that George Washington was president then !

Wow, you're older than me! BTW, this is special.

good effect. They are up to something!

Love this! Guess you always had the knack. Wonderful shot.

What a wonderful shot! Post some more.

Excellent capture, John.... You were very exceptional and talented even at 12....!!!

I agree, this is a gem of a moment in time. Thanks for posting the "Boys will be Boys". Regards, Todd

Guess you're posting it because it's a great shot-so real and full of life.

Regards,Judy

One of your best, John. . . .

I love the composition and the expression on the kids' faces,full of amusement and mischief.

Maybe they are looking at a book of John's other photographs.

This photo makes me remember that years..., Even if Landrum kelly is right!

:)..absolutelly wonderful image!!

Amazing and pure strong emotions. Amazing work for 12 years old! Love it!

i like the composition and the expression very much...

12? Amazing. The composition is striking, the four bodies forming an arch through the frame. The sense of energy in the postures of the boys on either side is incredible. And the four expressions are priceless.

 

So you must ask yourself, I'm sure: Where are they now?

Good Shot John. I once wore an outfit like the one on the right. Long trousers were for dress-up and all of us, just like the kids in this image had bruises, scabs and scars on our knees (One particularly large one I still have, and probably shut have been stitched shut, but back then..)

This is a great shot! Very nostalgic. Their grins are priceless.

I was amused yesterday to come across this shot of the Beatles !
