Joanna, Steven, Lauren and Jonathan at Steelcase
« on: June 14, 2016, 17:56:16 »
This shot was taken about 30 years ago. Early one weekend morning a good friend and I took our four kids over to a large manufacturing facility and with me directing from across the street, the kids ran along the side of the building.
The early morning light cast their cartoonish shadows on the wall, and I got this shot.
And thirty years later, we are all still dear, close friends.
motorized Nikon FE-2
Vivitar 75~300 5.6 manual focus
Ektachrome 100 ISO colour slide
f8 @ 1/125th

I shoot with film. That's film. F...i...l...m. You remember film. It was in all the papers.

This is amazingly heart-warming image, Robert!  Should be perfect for an album cover.

Armando,
Thanks, but keep in mind it wasn't a spontaneous picture. I deliberately set out to get this composition after finding the location.

Nothing wrong with that. Your vision came together nicely.

Charlie,
Yes indeed. Still one of my favorite shots of the kids from that time.
