Description it's true. even streetshooting i bet you get noticed by a higher percentage of kids than adult. they just see the word different and it's great. i think somebody once said that a good streetphotographer is somebody who can see the world thru the eyes of a child.. anybody know this quote?

anyway, more of that expired kodak colour roll.. like the colour but honestly think the b/w is a bit stronger, and it helped get the exposure on the girl's face more where i wanted it as she was a bit down in the original print. channel mix can so amazing things! i just wish i had CS for the shadow/highlights tool.

I know exactly what you mean - if there's a mixed scene on the street, its the kids that'll be looking at me as their parents rush along.

wow, the film is sooo expired that it even lost it's color .. believe that's true what you say about kids. they still find new things to see everywhere .. older people think they've seen it all.

in a photo class we once had a project where we were supposed to take pictures as if seeing the world through the eyes of a child. it was tough, but i enjoyed it and keep looking at things differently since then.

so true (regarding the percentage of people noticing you)
but the cool thing is: they don't mind. at all... their parents do instead.

The woman would have noticed you if she was on the kids back.

this shot serves more as a representation of my point rather than an example.
