This is really funny.. when I was a kid I wanted a tractor for Xmas so my dad made me one. I'm not sure why little girls like tractors but I guess it's kind of a power-play? Anyway, this image brought back memories.
Everything I love about the essential ingredients of photography is here. Light, monochrome, composition, timing and emotion. This is what I think of as the Noble Snapshot, which genre I think is the highest expression of photography.
Most photographs are a depiction of an object. This photograph is an object. It's beautiful, and indelible.
Silver medal and score of 9 for you. Thank you.
