  A nice 1970's image. I find it interesting that the adult male is also wearing "flares". Where I come from he would have been considered an old guy trying to look young.

  Fascinating stuff... at first I thought the photo was taken in the 1930s, then I noticed the boy is wearing bell bottoms!

  Absolutely love this. Street photography at it's peak. "Oi, tinker. Fancy posing for a few minutes while I get set up and if you don't mind, put your best menacing face on?" . I could imagine doing that now with a couple of grands worth of stuff strapped to your back in the current climate?
