Really like the juxtapositions of time, place and medium. Also the expressions on the faces of the boys.

The play button is awesome! It breaks it out of the old timey feel, set up by the clothing, and b/w.

The website signature is like a crazy modern art movement that I don't understand yet (Ask SKMYTGR about our class discussion on giant signatures). Maybe its a mockery of corporate/modern identity, bringing the subject under scrutiny? =P

The big J.W. tag seems like branding your art/self, which is sort of a genius idea, in this day and age. But I wonder if we need to move away from our (ridiculous) industrial modeled civilization and manufactured identities. Maybe as artists we should be leading the way? I'm not sure what that would mean, but it makes me wary of logos.

Pretty deep huh?

From an aethstetic point of view I find the name tag troublesome, but clearly, it got me thinking (even if you didn't intend that exactly).

Aaaanyhow, very nice work.

(I keep trying to press the x, but it won't close).

Pop-up adds are annoying, so it worked!
It's actually white oil blended with charcoal for the greys. My dog's fur on the feet and tail.
When it was done, it thought it needed some "modernizing".
The play button was intended to remind the viewer that snapshots are a merely a moment of an event that had movement.
