Sometimes black and white is used to disguise mediocrity, not here. This is a light-hearted moment which has been caught with sensitivity by the photographer. The background is wonderful, the graininess of the image, which reminds one of the photo-journalism essays of yester-year, is superb, and the mystery of what the boy at the back has sprayed over his mate is humorous. Message to Exodus families: do not try this at home!
