Shutter Priority

This is one of my all-time favorite photos. It was a grab shot on the street at Gunnison, Colorado. It was shot in 1982 on color slide film with a Nikon FM. I made a Cibachrome print of it and then scanned the print. The look of it seemed to escape the time and reach back to a much earlier era. The photo really seemed to have everything in that it captured the relationship between the the old man and the child, the old guy obviously teaching the youngster about crossing the street, and the little guy trying to figure it all out. I love the old bicycle and the handbills on the wall. I wish the old guy would have held his cane differently, but it is what it is.
