  1. I do wonder why this photo was taken, who is the girl, and who is the photographer.  Jacqueline Roque was Picasso's second wife. First I thought the lady on the photo was her also, but she is obviously not.  And Picasso's picture is obviously not the original, it looks more like a poster. Why does the photo deserve to hang at Stedelijk? Beacuse of its documentary qualities, or because it's a piece of art itself? I cannot remember any explanation with the photo when I saw it at the Stedelijk Museum, but I really started to wonder after I came home. Maybe I have to write to the museum and ask.

    I agree with the others here, but I will also add that it's not always necessary to plan every shot in every details. I usually carry my camera around, and when I see something interesting or get an idea, I shoot a bit wider than necessary, then I crop later on the PC. Often I discover surprises in the shots after I've taken them. Your shot here is filled with youth and joy, I think it's a splendid shot despite some not optimal flash technique. It's a very happy shot!
