Wow I love your photos and this one is particularly wonderful (also completely in love with the main Holga walk photo a few entries forward). I recently read an article on a research project that used software to analyse Rembrandt's paintings. It seems that Rembrandt very subtly threw much of his compositions out of focus forcing viewers to focus on a very specific spot. OK - so this pic is not so subtly out of focus but I love the way the eye is led and not in that shift-tilt lens kind of out of focus miniaturaization way. I also love seeing happy old people too. It gives hope. Oh right - I'm old already. I’ve just stumbled on your site and I’ve got to comment!
