Childhood

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 9 April 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Still nothing new to show, but hoping to get out and about with the camera over the Easter break. I have, though, been going back through older photos, and came across a couple of my favourites taken with my old (no longer in existence) Minolta digicam in February 2004.

How things have changed. This 5 megapixel camera cost then about twice the price of the Canon 40D that I own now. A DSLR was out of the question in those days.

Here's the first of these from my beach, Brighton, then.

To be so young and carefree... ahhh
I can understand about not having photos... I haven't had a chance to get out... life has been crazy of late and so I am putting older photos on there for now....

I always like how children create their own little wolds on a beach . . and get completely lost in it whatever else happens around.

Then and now, even your "simplest" pictures are beautiful. Yes, there is nothing representative of innocence than young children at play. Great composition and light.
