Most kids find clowns scary
At the 2023 Carnaval in Frankfurt. It was getting dark, I had only ISO 100 left in my bag and opened aperture wider than was wide to compensate.
As for clowns and kids, well, about 20 years ago someone published an article on sick kids perception of the entertainment they are provided in hospitals, in particular by visiting clowns. A number of interviews clearly established most kids felt uncomfortable around them, or found them downright scary. I don't know whether paediatric wards amended their clown policies, but at least someone got published in a decent journal.
Minolta XD7 and MC-Rokkor PF 1:1.4 f=58mm, Agfa APX 100 in Rodinal for 10 min @ 20°C and digitalized using kit zoom and extension tubes.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
