It's black and white Wednesday at the long road to China. At the beginning of the summer holidays I made my teenage children play cat's cradle whilst I photographed their hands, none of us could remember how to play it properly, it's amazing how quickly you forget those lovely old fashioned games.
What a great shot! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI think I remember only the first 3-4 moves and I don't remember how to do the rest! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
I just love this picture.. It brings back memories of me and my daughter playing when she was yonger..
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really, really cool shot. So interesting...it really draws you in, and the lighting is AMAZING. And I used to play Cat's Cradle all the time! ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery neat shot! We used to do Jacob's Ladder - is it the same? I don't remember how to do it :-(
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! (Your colour photos are wonderful...but I do love your black & white photos so much...something special about them...:))
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I love your photos, so I am your newest follower. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Cat's Cradle! I was a pro when I was a kid, but I'm sure I have forgotten how to do it.
I had completely forgotten how much I loved cats cradle as a kid! Fabulous capture!!
ReplyDeleteLove this!! I loved this game as a kid =)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog
This is great Justine, and brought back wonderful memories. I'll have to check with my kids to see if they remember how to do it. I do!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit today, and the plan is to MAKE time somehow, some way.
Wow, I love the lighting on this! I think it's fun to photograph hands and feet and then edit in black and white...so dramatic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! I can't for the life of me remember how to play Cat's Cradle :(
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!! I can't remember at all!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat b&w - I love the backlighting!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Very creative composition. Great in black & white.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me of this childhood pleasure! My kids have an ipod and I had a piece of string. Just wait until I tell them that! ;)

PS. I sent your letter off today. Apologies for the delay, I've been cooped up inside with bronchitis.
I remember that part of cat's cradle! I loved playing that - my boys like it, too, but I've forgotten all about it!
ReplyDeleteJustine, thank you for all of your encouragement on my blogs - I really appreciate your input! I just became a follower (I am sloooooow to do that because I AM a bit overwhelmed with the number of blogs on my list). I am also going to take your link right on over to my photography blog and put you in my blogroll. Just thought that you should know!
Love, Katy Noelle
P.S. Again - I just LOVE that shortbread!!!!!!!!=]
I would have never thought to photograph this. I used to play this for hours at summer camp.
ReplyDeleteFun Staple
ReplyDeleteLovely B&W

This is so neat...I love just the window light peaking through providing for the picture. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteThe amazing thing about cat's cradle is that kids all over the world do it. If you can do it, then you can "communicate" with children in all sorts of countries, even if you don't know the language. : )
Wow! I really like this snap
