  • Deborah Parkin

    Deborah Parkin

    A really beautiful and intimate portrait – love the tones and how they are staring into the camera – confrontational but not intimidating :)

  • Jean M. Laffitau replied

    This shot was taken during a pause. Bouth are dancers and great ones. Thank you very much for your wonderful comment Deborah!

    The honesty of a good BW shot is hard to beat, Used in this way to send out a powerful message is inspirational Jean. If I’m not mistaken this is from your classic collection. You have a back catalogue of many fabulous images just waiting to become an even greater collection of classic calendars.
    ‘Makes no difference if your black or white, brother you know what I mean’

  • Jean M. Laffitau replied

    Thank you very, very much Robin. Yes, this is another shot from my “classic” collection :-) I tried to sell this and others as a calender, but there was no interest at all. Not many of my shots get the interest I would like them to have, but that’s how life is in this bussiness.

    I agree Jean marketing isn’t an area in which I excel its a hard nut to crack. Knocking on a lot of doors & getting very few answers gets to be a bit hard to swallow. But we have to keep knocking though or nobody will know we’re out here!!

    I know that the title is trying to convey a touch to our soul to participate in such a lovely and desireble feeling of humanity….of true friendship, apart for differences.. but speciall because of them.
    I can feel it and love intensly the beauty of both youngers….and how profound and clean are those faces in special their looks…
    Wonderful..
