Gun 1, Broadway and 103rd Street, New York 1954. « Well, to start with, I'm getting tired of seeing it in print and, in addition, misread. It's fake violence, a parody. I asked the boy to point the gun at me and look tough. He did, and then we both laughed, which the next frame shows. Knowing this, I see it in another context. And even more, another: as a double self-portrait. I was both the street kid trying to look tough and the timid, good little boy on the right. » From the book « New York 1954-55 » Marval, 1995. #masterofphotography #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #gun #kids #play #jeu #pistolet #street #newyork #streetphotography #noiretblanc #photographie #photography #copsandrobbers #bang #enfant #danslarue #goodboy #badboy
