Hello, is this a photo from your archives? These young ladies appear in similar outfits I would have worn as a child. I love it!

Beautiful B&W tonal qualities in this vintage photo - love the sound of a recorder which I can almost hear...:)

Paul Abspoel from Hoofddorp, Netherlands
Alphons! Bedankt voor je vriendelijke comments bij mijn foto's. Ik voel me schuldig, want ik heb (maak) amper tijd om zelf te commenten. Maar ik waardeer alle aanmoedigingen, tips en reacties - just to let you know. Dit is een lieve foto - van die meidjes met blokfluiten. Ik heb zelf ook twee dochters (enthousiast dwarsfluit en een vergeefse poging tot blokfluit) en dit is wel een nostalgisch kiekje. Vast uit de oude doos? Keep it up - ik vind het leuk om hier ook medelanders aan enthousiastelingen aan te treffen. Ik blog op www.vrijspraak.wordpress.com Gegroet en bedankt! Paul

@Paul Abspoel: Paul, bedankt voor je uitvoerige reaktie. Ik vind het leuk om een aantal sites een beetje in de gaten te houden, maar inderdaad zowel commentaar geven als eventueel nog een reaktie geven kan soms bijna een dagtaak worden.
Inderdaad is die foto uit mijn oudere verzameling. Ik vind ze zelf mooi en vind het leuk ze ook hier enns te alten zien.
Ik hoop zelf ook voldoende te kunnen fotograferen om regelmatig wat nieuws op de site te kunnen zetten, maar ook dat valt niet mee.
Nogmaals bedankt voor je reaktie en tot ziens op de site. Gr. Alphons.
Paul Abspoel from Hoofddorp, Netherlands
"medelanders & enthousiastelingen" had dat natuurlijk moeten zijn. Te snel getypt... ;-)

JJ from Jersey City, United States
beautiful capture of the two of them, love the concentration on there faces
22 Nov 2008 2:13pm
@JJ: Thanks for the compliment. See you again.
Charles from New York, United States
Nice shot. I love your choice of black and white...and yes they do look like they are concetrating very hard on their practicing (nice capture).
22 Nov 2008 2:39pm
@Charles: It's an old photo, and in that days I did the whole (chemical) processing myself. So B&W was the only normal and payable option. I love B&W though. Also nowadays.
Thanks for your compliment and comment. See you again.
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Nice intense expressions in this gentle image.
22 Nov 2008 2:42pm

ninni from Belo Horizonte, Brazil
I like photos in black&white! This is an old one I think? Beginning of 60s?
Nice captured!
22 Nov 2008 3:27pm

Thank you for your comment and visit. See you again.
@Alun Lambert: Thank you. Bye.

Pixim from Nice, France
One good photo, certainly argentic? Your framing is adequate and embraces the scene totally while emphasizing the instrumentalists ;)
22 Nov 2008 4:48pm
@Pixim: I don't know the meaning of "argentic", is it "like silver"?
Thanks for your extensive and kind comment. See you again.
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Practice makes perfect.... taken some time ago I think. A good Z/W photo :)
22 Nov 2008 5:39pm
@Observing: Uit mijn archief. uit de 70-er jaren.
Oefening geldt ook voor fotograferen. Ik hoop het nog meer te doen.
Tot ziens.
Marhilde from Geraardsbergen, Belgium
Nostalgisch. Altijd tof om beelden van vroeger terug te zien hé ?

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Ik heb een tweeling-nichtjes die ook op deze manier blokfluit speelden en nog spelen. Hartstikke leuk! Ik ga die foto opzoeken en posten, want hij is pre-digitaal.
1 Dec 2008 10:16pm
@Illuci: Ook dit zijn nichtjes. En ook deze foto is pre-digitaal, zoals meer in mijn, nog maar kleine portfolio. Ik hoop de fotografie weer wat meer op te pakken en voldoende "produktie" te hebben om regelmatig eens wat te kunnen uploaden.
Bedankt voor je uitgebreide commentaren, en tot ziens.
Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands

@Illuci: Leuke foto's, toch. Vooral het dubbelportret op de mand vind ik geweldig. Zeker op Aminus plaatsen.
(Persoonlijk vind ik Aminus mooier omdat ie zo rustig is als site).
Vr. gr. Alphons.
