Boys on a lampost ! an older picture (published in Photo Magazine) ..

Ah, you did it :-)

A wonderful departure from your nude work. Well timed moment. Lets see more.

This is really a great shot! Looks like something out of the 40's. Did you stage this, or just came accross it by accident?

Very candid shot. Reminds me of my childhood...

No, it would be difficult to stage something like that. They were climbing the lampost, they saw the camera and play acted for me!

I really missed this kind of pics, especially on this site, very nice shot, thanks for sharing.

If this is for real I'd like to know where people still dress like this and where the lamp posts are this antique? It looks as if you traveled back in time for this one!...

Regardless the expressions are perfect!

Thank you for your very interesting comment. Thank you also for reminding me how old I am! ...Oh yes ... and I also used to dress like that too !!

Best wishes, John

John you are definitely young at heart! and the dress code is fine with me...a good time period when there was a little more pride, and discipline.

...thanks for sharing!!!

No need to say too much. This is it.

Beautiful shot. Really captures that childish joy, pure happyness. Thanks.

wonderful composition, great expressions, a joy to view

Excellent photo of boys being boys. I don't see a date on this photo. When was it taken?

Long, long ago...

This reminds me of a Weegee street/kids shot, very nice. From a journalist POV the only thing I don't like is that they are looking at you.

Remind me some shots from Robert Doisneau...

Great catch! Wish it were a tad sharper, but otherwise excellent. It has such an "old world" flavor! Kind regards, m.

Hi John, excellent moment in time. What country was this photo taken in?

 

 

Great photo. You rarely see this king of photos (unfortunately). Rest of your photos are also very good. Congrats.

A very good photograph, which reminds me of some Doisneau shots, he did photograph playing children. This photo not only brings us back in time, but in one shot tells quite a story. Congratulations.

I would say : Photography of the week...(any week :-))

It could have been taken in the 30's. I have nothing like this. It's wonderful.

'Add a comment to Maybe I feel the need to show that I do photography something else other than pretty girls!'

Oh, you do young boys too...I see. Hah!

My respect to you, John. I dont think a camera back then is as common as a it is today, and you used it oh so well.

This photo is hilarious. Simply excellent! Congratulations!!

The details of the background add so much feeling to this shot... the broken concrete windowsill, aged brick, the floral print curtains hung loosely in the window... amazing stuff. Great work!
