What a lovely photograph. That haze of light falling over the play board is amazing, as is his intent expression and the wonderful composition. Beautiful!

love the heavy light, it goes great with the black and white

Nice image

i like the mood.

Fantastic capture

I'm fairly convinced Frank Moran also appears in these pics...I'm not 100% sure though...someone who's more familiar with Moran might be able to say whether it's him. In the top 2 pics they're looking at the back page pictorial from the London Daily Mirror of 31st March, 1915...the pictorial shows pics of the fight between Moran and English boxer 'Bombardier' Billy Wells which was held at the Royal Opera House, London on 29th March, 1915. Moran knocked Wells out in the 10th round. If these pics do involve Moran they deserve to be more widely known...at present they're buried away in the Australian National Maritime Museum's collection. www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/9910308965/ www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/9910386534/ www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/9910359426/
