Lifes Little Pleasures BW
I have been trying out various black and white methods and I thought I should give this one a go.
I took this picture without them knowing.
It looked like although the grandfather didn’t have much money, he still managed to buy is grandson an ice cream.
Taken in Bristol on Colston Street.

I love the contrast in the older man’s face, world weary, and hardened, against the shear joy and innocence in the little boy’s face. Good job.
