[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
I came across these three guys recently (there's one hiding behind). I guess they’re 15 years old at most, but already 6.3 feet tall (more or less 1.90m). I don’t know what we’re putting in milk nowadays, but I feel smaller year after year when I look at teenagers.

I guess this might be pretty common in countries where everything and everyone is big, such as the states (btw, they were speaking in English with an American accent), but I couldn’t help being impressed. I mean, I could put both my feet in one of their Nike shoes, if you see what I mean. I couldn’t help staring at them expressing incredulity and a sort of fascination, I guess, which of course called their attention. They were pretty cool and made some steps of what I suppose is a mixture of rap and hip hop. I took some pics.

Now, would anyone know where I can get that kind of milk? I’m ready to quit beer, just in case…

thank God the kids are catching up to me, can tell you there wasn't anything special in the milk I was drinking, my grandma could run between my legs without destroying her hairdude (or my balls), my parents were average, but my brother and I just kept growing, with that obviously come a bit of abuse, you know anyone a bit taller, fatter, redder, darker etc etc. At least now I can buy shirts without special orders lol (nba players are probably a foot taller than me, at least they can affort all that fancy long and big stuff).

The mistery for me however is how those pants stay on without falling down, some of the kids today seem to wear their belt just above their knees, has the law of gravity changed as of late?

The pic is all right Gal, think even lower pov with a skyscraper behind the kid to match his size would be even better, then again he would probably step on you if you got any lower lol.

Fascinating tale, I must admit I have felt the same way myself when gazing upon the taller teenagers that exist today. Love how you have somehow combined what appears to be an American street corner, but from the background building sign, it is clear that its not. A big splash of hip hop culture in Geneva, love it!

bonsoir Gal
Ils t-ont laissé prendre la photo tranquille, où réellement tu es tout petit :)
pour ton info, ce n'est pas le lait, c'est les céréales du petit dej qui les fait pousser !
pour la photo, le pov s'imposait et les couleurs claquent bien. dommage pour la tête du 3e larron.
ce qui est marrant avec cette photo c'est que ma grand mère qui regardait d'un mauvais oeil mon look de jeune ado ne voudrait pas croire ce que nous voyons aujourd'hui. ah les jeunes ...

Hey Gal,

Even somebody like me who listens to Hip Hop, I too find the baggy clothing being worn by these kids a little too excessive. Some great colour and a great perspective.

Yo Gal!
Il faut que tu arêtes d'écrire des notes aussi drôles parce qu'à chaque fois je manque de mettre café partout en les lisant! :o)
Ton POV, cadrage et l'utilisation du grand-angle sont parfaits pour accentuer l'impression de grandeur de ces gaillards. Vue la taille de le leurs T-shirt, ils ont encore de la marge... Le léger tilt avec l'immeuble derrière donne un peu dynamisme ainsi que les couleurs saturées.
Mais au fait, c'est pris devant chez Photo-Hall. Qu'est ce que tu faisais par là ? :o)
Bonne journée
Brigitte

Excellent Gal, c'est interessant que tu t'interesses a la culture HIP-HOP et streetwear, bon c'est sur qu'avec des tailles trip XL on a l'impression que ca tasse un peu le personnage, mais il est vrai que la generation actuelle tourne aux alentours du metre 90...Concernant ton cadrage; il est excellent, je ressens une espece de destabilisation (tilt ou biere ;oP))dans ton regard envers ces jeunes et apparemment tu n'es pas de taille contre eux ;o)...le seul petit reproche ce le 3eme visage, ca lui fait un peu un col de boeuf au poussin du premier plan...sinon c'est nickel.

Salut Gal.
Eh eh, ca c'est du stylé ;)
Si tu me dis qu'ils écoutent pas du hip-hop, j'aurais du mal à te croire ;)
Le pdv avec cette eptite vue montante est top et donne une belle sensation de grandeur (même si apparemment il a pas besoin de ca)
Ils ont accepté facilement ? Je supoose qu'ils devaient se sentir importants les 2 artistes ;)
Superbe note :))
Bien joué
Fred

Hi Gal. I am almost a half of their height...SHOCKED! I hate milk.

Too sad that you missed the third person but this two guys looks quite impressive. I like the different colours between the background and them. Did you shoot it at your eye level? (I'm only joking!)

Hi Gal, I like this a lot! You must have been on your knees for this one. This could have been a lot easier with the swiveled LCD screen of the G3, but it wouldn't have given this fine quality.
Geez, maybe these guys are tall, but they can really grow into giants in those shirts.
I like the way you portrayed this 'Urban tribe" (thanks Bert, for the term) Nice colors, as well, and like I said, nice PoV.
Oh, and it's not just milk, and I think a lot of American guys are actually small. But coming from the Netherlands, I think the tallest people come from here. (So maybe it IS the milk anyway)

je me moquerais pas de ton POV pfffffff ;o)
désolé ;o) je dois etre aussi grand voir plus petit que toi
comme quoi a sert ,o)
un vrai cliché ces ado, il ont du en boire des litres de lait
pour gangner le costume du rappeur ;o)
une image cool gal
A+

As Rinie mentions the Dutch are the ones with the really cool milk, the Americans are the ones with the "cheddar" ;o) Well as you know I'm very tall (a bit shorter than Peter "Homerhomer" though ;o), so to me these guys are of perfect hight.... Great snap and as everyone said the angle is great it gives it a sort of comic feel.

Hello Gal,
ta note est tordante ! ;-)
J'aime bien ton POV en contre-plongée car même si tu n'es pas typé pour le basket-ball, je pense que tu t'es baissé un peu.
Bon tilt aussi et belle combinaison de couleurs, devant un jaune et bleu, je craque toujours...
a+

Je ne peux que sympathiser profondement avec ce cliche plutot Furachanien, n'est-ce pas? Ca fait tres New York, tu sais et un peu "pub" aussi avec la diversite des races. En combinaison avec ton excellente note, c'est tres cool..
Francis
