I think about the mid 70's and the pictures my parents would take of me and my cousins...this reminds me of a family snapshot that captures real life. :)

I can see they all get their hair cut by the same person. Love their expressions and enough blur for this shot. Wonderful work here.

Comment by Jutilda:
I like that each one has a completely different expression yet they are all identical in other ways. Nice balance with them on the left and the tea products on the right.

This is amazing, as it looks like it was taken years ago, as it has an ageing quality all of its own..... I love it Lesley.

They look like two identical, one fraternal, or are they identical triplets? This to me is a good example of soft - not blurry, but not sharp, as you say. And soft works a lot more than most people give it credit for. I like soft - and it suits this well.

I don't know Les, looks more sharp than blurry to me, although the dof across the girls' faces gets blurrier as the image receds...

Beautiful nonetheless, 3 cutie pies! I love little girls in their school uniforms..remind me of the girls in the Madeline series..

oh, btw, the border on this fits very well

Very nice. Print or no print, this is better than you realize.

Most of us live most of our settled lives in pretty much one locale, and don't get a chance to get out and experience the world. When I visited countries across the globe while I was in the Navy, I was stuck in landscape photography, tourist kind of shots, never paying attention to the life around me. The life I now seek, and find in your images.

Your images, the lives, the expressions and colors you bring back and share with us are so moving. You have a way of reaching into the soul of those you photograph, and paint them into your shots to tell a story. One can look and sense character. The brain can kick into creative mode with your pictures and one can start to hear music, the routine sounds, the sounds of people laughing, talking, the bustle of activity around the streets, all done by the masses you depict so well in your imaging.

Congrats Lesley. You made a very wise move putting your paintbrushes down for a while in order to do something few can do, and as well.
