The Boy With The Broken Halo by

With thanks to Lewis Hine for all the wonderful photography he left for us to admire. His images of depression era youth have always been such an inspiration for me. This artwork has personal meaning for me but feel free to interpret it any way you choose.
Thanks for stopping by!

    Immediately brought the memories back for me of old rare family snapshots pre-ww2 Anji. Always so special to see you post. This is powerfully beautiful work.

  • Thank you so much! I feel that if I have just a tiny impact on someone, just to get them thinking so to speak, I am rewarded ten fold by them leaving a comment. I’m glad that this stirred a few memories for you rodeorose and I hope they were good ones! Thank you again X

    I am looking at an image I respond to in so many ways….on a purely technical level I am in huge admiration of your skills..on a mental level I find it sad, intriguing, timeless….
    Incredible work..

  • Thank you so much Polly for your very kind words! Technically I am still a novice – emotionally, years of practice I’m afraid! Many more years to go though and I hope I perfect one or the other! Thank you again
