Ilinka's smile in the last photo is precious. I don't know much about black-and-white photography. Actually, I know nothing, that is the true, but what these photos told me is that the imagination and children's ability and desire to play and get lost in that world is amazing and timeless! It is a quality we lose a bit as we grow older as there are other things to focus on, it is normal and the way how humans survive, cycles in our own lives. We do find ways to preserve the playing and creative expressions through arts and even science, so what is the conclusion, mipiano hahaha? 😂 (still drinking my morning coffee so this is a bit messy comment 😂) No major conclusion, just that I loved to see how a little soul can focus on playing and creating worlds and scenes. May you have a great weekend, @bluemoon! 🐝
I don't know if the coffee is to blame for this comment which gave me great pleasure, but I think it contributed to a pleasant state that prompted a similar response. Thanks, @mipiano!
Black and white photography is a state of mind, it should convey more emotion than the color version, that's how I see it and it's hard to achieve. I keep trying, without studying too much, I want to let my imagination and instinct work, if any.
Going back to childhood, to memories of my own or my son's childhood, is an exercise in nostalgia that I am using more and more now. The memories are vague but the presence of my child's child's child is devastating for me. I discover a still free behavior, but less and less, and a candor that hurts because of how beautiful it is.
I think you need to get to the table with some rocks and colors!
