I could look at this photo all afternoon...

You just know that some of the people in that photo have said one or more of the following:

1) Well, she's no better than she ought to be.
2) I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking.
3) Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs!
4) Our Brenda's got a bun in the oven, off one of them Americans at the airfield.

Just thought of ...
5) Ooh, 'ark at 'er!
6) You can tell she doesn't get all 'er meat on coupons!

7) you know, her from number 27, yes the one with the frozen shoulder.
8) these hessian gussets don't half chafe.

You dont see those silver cross prams anymore.
The dog's done a puddle of wee.

I'd say someone in the photo has farted.

At £1,450 each it's hardly surprising.....

I must admit to drawn to the contrast in foot ware between those two ladies on the right! And I do remember having some like the frumpy ones when I was 5!

my mum sent me to school in some of those... SENIOR school! my first year was hell!

Besides the price, they do not fit in the aisles in the Co-op, attract a lot of the wrong sort of attention, are awkward to get onto buses or into cars and are only big enough for the first two or three months with twins.

O Winston Link's photographs float my boat. His elaborate staging and lighting make for some striking images:

What do you think the basket at the bottom is for?

Duhh...

9) our Tommy's not been the same since I did his back, sack and crack.

[QUOTE 2984805, member: 9609"]There used to be a range of cameras by the name of Rolleriflex see this page link and the camera was not held up to the face as a normal camera, but held at waist level with the photographer looking down into it - apparently they were brilliant for these sort of scenes as no one would realise they were being snapped![/QUOTE]

I know, but still, I do have to wonder, I mean the camera or the fact that someone is standing there fiddling with a camera or something else if its disguised can't exactly be invisible, some people must see it!

I mean, great as these people were, I bet they must have been 'clocked' sometimes!

Vern, Silver Cross is very much alive and kicking despite a bit of a hiccup with the West Midlands manufacturer of those posh prams last year. However cash has been found and all is back on track, I believe. Their HQ is near Skipton, in a restored barn just a couple of hundred yards from the roundabout where the road from Nelson and Colne joins the A59. Some of the biggest customers for the old-style prams nowadays are travellers, who enjoy the bling and usually pay cash.

The photo in the OP is good and I wouldn't question the skill of the photographer but with careful cropping almost any fortuitous street snap can be made to look as if it was composed. With a few unconventional elements of composition and unexplained events captured, a street snap even acquires a mystique and becomes modern and edgy.

Bert Hardy was quite the photographer and had the gift of the gab to talk people into posing naturally for composed shots or agreeing to stand still when he saw a shot that he liked.
He, like a lot of the photojournalists and C-B decisive moment type photographers went for small film cameras, usually Leica's as they're whisper quiet and bombproof, pocket sized and with smaller easier to load film stock. A lot of them painted/taped them all black too so they were even more unobtrusive.
Hardy came from.quite a colourful background, his dad was an east end character with a liking for a drink who got nicknamed Seagull after drinking his weeks wages away then going home and trying to convince the family a seagull had swooped down and taken the money.

Wow, he must like trains nearly as much as my dad does. In fact so many family holidays incorporated at least two steam railway visits our holiday snaps look like a poor homage to the above.
