[Leica] IMG: Kids

[Ted Grant]

Bon jour Philippe,
I like the child simply because she isn't looking at nor paying any attention to the camera.
It is much like my daily shooting these days with about 200-300 senior citizens as subjects in our seniors home.
The project is to photograph their daily lives without embarrassing photos. But lots of activities of all kinds. Basically the days are endlessly filled with folks involved not paying any attention to me. 
It was difficult day after day as they weren't accustomed to a photographer around almost 24 hours a day shooting whatever the activities.
But me? "jokingly" being a stealth like photojournalist ;-) shooting 100% of the time by available light for about 65 years, it was fairly easy to be about them and they not the least bit aware I was clicking away. Someday I'll be putting a book together from some of this material plus others. Somewhat like one of my books published a few years ago.
"REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOOT B&W. 
 sometimes colour."
Quite a few copies sold on the LUG! Also USA/CANADA, Europe & Australia. So the second edition is in the making at the moment.
cheers all,
Dr. ted grant O.C.

I’d like to have your feelings about this little fellow I crossed in a remote village of Thailand.

and here’s a cute Thai little grocer into the bargain.

Please do chime in, thanks.
