EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the innocence and creativity of childhood in the 1970s, as seen through the lens of photographer Robin Dale. Taken on Hall Road in Stockton, a working-class town in the Northeast of England, the image shows two children, a little girl and a boy, engrossed in their art project on the doorstep of a house. The simple pleasure of drawing on the pavement with chalk is amplified by the addition of a makeshift light pipe, fashioned from a glass bottle and a piece of cardboard, which the children have used to create intricate shadows on their masterpiece. The scene is completed by the scruffy, worn-out appearance of the children and their surroundings, reflecting the gritty reality of life in the 1970s. The image transports us back to a time when children could spend hours playing outside, using their imaginations to create their own entertainment, and when the simple things in life brought great joy. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring spirit of childhood and the importance of creativity and imagination, even in the most ordinary of settings.
