Child Entertainment in the Digital Era
In the rear of a 1959 VW Beetle, an aunt has her hands full entertaining her nephews.
She is teaching her older nephew the nursery rhyme and finger game, "Here's the church, and here's the steeple. Open the door and see all the people..."
One of my earliest efforts. Negative long gone, but unlike with my previous B&W uploads, I haven't even a 10X8" to work with. This is an iPhone photograph of a 5x4" print.
Speculatively, I first submitted this to the group 'Aesthetics of Failure'. I worried whether a rejection there would mean that the picture was either a totally unmitigated failure, or, as a failed failure, actually a success! I needn't have worried -- it has been accepted as a failure. Maybe I should try 'Autoportrait' next... 😉
I do like the way two people are watching each other’s hands, and their lines of sight cross over near dead centre, dragging your own eyes in and around (see comment below).
