Knock Knock

I am only uploading this b&w version for my portflolio – I think it will look better than sepia – a more cohesive body of work (I am keeping the sepia version but moving it down). This image has been sitting here unpublished for a very long time. Thank you for looking.

Marvelous Deb, love the child’s eye perspective, and great contrasty BW tones.

Stuart Chapman

black and white – you just couldn’t resist could you, oh go on then and through in a strong vigentte too and you have the hallmarks of your style that are instantly recognisable and throughly enjoyable to view.

Knock, knock? You’re lucky – if this was Adam it would be pull pull or push push until it broke. More bang, bang than knock, knock!
Deborah Parkin replied

LOL Stuart – you always give me the funniest comments. Don’t believe everything the camera tells you – she isn’t as dainty as she looks :) How’s life – hope it is great!!

Black and white gives a more intense feeling but i think you have a great picture here really beatiful, be in b+w or in sepia the picture will change emotion but will still grab the eye..

Great work!!!
Deborah Parkin replied

Graham Dean

In the morning, before work, our little one Charli came out and sleepily said, while I was viewing your new Knock Knock, hey that’s me. She was very impressed with herself.
I love this image Deb, I think it’s one of your most wonderful.
One day art historians will write reams about it, we privelaged rb’ians get to see it now : )
marshall calve...

spotlighting the life and times of our kids is usually a snap shot in a album, not here, here we have a girl who looks lost and needing help,I love how you have her with her hand on the handle trying to get in away from the dark and cold,
a dark tonal range giving us that all important mood and feeling, great work Deborah
Trish Woodford

Fantastic image, lovely light, composition, love it :))))
Ronald Rockman

Delany Dean

Marvelous. Instantly brought back a very old memory of mine, of when I was a little girl, knocking on my grandparents’ bedroom door, because I was frightened in the night.
Deborah Parkin replied

Thanks Delany – my photography is about memory and past and this makes me very happy to see it has re-ignited something in you (hope that makes sense). Thanks for your lovely comment.
Patrick Robertson

This is a top job B&W ! Tells us a story… love it.
benthebrown

This has immense feeling and story, such a good image Deborah. Love the low angle and the darkness surrounding the subject really draws you in. I think I have been that little kid once upon a time.
Michele Randell

Such a poignant image….....I remember this feeling as a child
