What a special photo.

I love this, from the softness of the sky to the detail in his jumper.
what a great imge, the older “cool” boy with the experience is showing the younger “rookie” how to shoot the perfect catapault.
I dont know how you managed to capture the images you have in such an unposed natural manner.
All your pictures depict life as it happened-looking at your portfolio is like stepping into a time machine.
david malcolmson replied
Thank you, Poppykitten, for these kind words.

Ah, back when it was OK to carry knives and slings for fun. This, like many of your photos, has a painted set feel to it, which makes it all the stronger.
