I'm agree Larry, the Rolleiflex give us a different vision for the children,
I've just explained on a message the fun phrase of HCB about the eyes
situation,

Thanks for looking and your comments
Saludos cordiales
Luis

Of course the pictures are technically excellent - but what is most
interesting to me is the slightly different angle of view that the Rolliflex
gives. Most of the pictures are taken from the head level of a child, i.e.
waist level of an adult. In this day of eye level viewfinders and SLRs it is
refreshing to see pictures taken from a lower elevation. We tend to view
most things from adult heights and forget that the visual world is different
for children.

I, too, like the last picture best. It has a lot of spirit.
