#851 - Robert Doisneau

“I hate ugliness, it makes me physically ill. But melancholy and compassion, these may be minor values but they’re the ones that move me most of all.”

 

~Robert Doisneau

 

(1912-1994)

This is one of the all time great images about childhood though there are no children in the frame. A simple merry go round in the rain. Full of compassion, sensitivity, and intelligence. Just like its maker.
