Excellent........... I've never been able to create a large bubble for my children/grandchildren, might be some special liquid.

It looks like a scene from some early fifties Italian movie.
Beautiful image.

Thank you my friends, I still can't believe that I took this photo, for the first time since I started photographing many years ago
I feel like I have reached something that is really worth all the time and the efforts, something that has a value independently from me, if I would die now I'd die happy.

Thank you.
The more I get back to watch it, the more I think I've been really lucky, because I think the image turned out to work on different levels.
There's the child's play, the moment of fun and excitement, but if you want, you can see in it something more.
There's the fragility element, the bubble that we know will burst soon, yet it's there, flying on the children's breath, something like a miracle.
And you can see a metaphor in it also, the children are our future, and this feeling of instability, of uncertainty, of suspence, I think somehow fits our times well.
And the fact that to keep this miracle going, to keep the bubble up, to make our world resist, we need the aid of everyone else, it's really a collective effort that the young generations will be called up to.

It's frightening what can come up with a photo, isn't it?
Photography can be so huge sometimes. Much bigger than we little photographers are.

i love this, a signature shot to be sure!

i note the scene is outside yet it is iso6400, was it taken at night, or was it intentional to you wanting b&w?

Kind regards.

It was night, taken at 22:03 in a street under sodium lamps. Sodium lamps are not panchromatic,
they make crappy colour images that are impossible to balance because the spectrum is incomplete.
They are, however, very good as light source for B&W. Basically, it's like shooting under a huge yellow/orange filter. Great for skin.
