It's like a clever take on American Gothic. I like it.

I love this!! Fav!

@msk1p2 They wanted to hold rakes and garden implements but I insisted that they hold flowers. American Gothic crossed my mind two as Forrest is so tall

Lovely lovely lovely

Brilliant!!

@peterdegraaff What a cool photo. The rakes and garden implements would have been cliche', but the way you arranged this, looks awesome!
posted October 5th, 2012  
Oh this is just wonderful! Timeless! Love their smiles and the flowers :-)
posted October 5th, 2012  
That looks so old....reminds me of some photos in my albulm from the 70's!!
posted October 5th, 2012  
Lovely - love the flowers!

i love the playful mood of this photograph. you must've looked exactly like this boy when you were young.

The polaroid has given it such a great feel. Nice.
posted October 5th, 2012  
wonderful old timey feel.
It is reminiscent of American gothic. Fun shot

It's still in pretty good condition.

Love the interesting portrait and complete vintage feeling. Very cool shot.

Great shot Peter. Love the vintage feel and cheeky smiles.

Wonderfully done for all the above reasons. I can't believe I have done something you hadn't until now! ;~}
posted October 5th, 2012  
What a wonderful photo!
posted October 5th, 2012  
How cool! Great fun shot! Makes me want to pull out some of my old pics I took as a youth. LOL
posted October 5th, 2012  
I wasn't sure if you could still buy Polaroid film. You say you took this today? It has a, "days gone by look to it."
posted October 5th, 2012  
Cool capture. Nicely done.
posted October 5th, 2012  
I LOVE THIS!!! I just recieved two old polorids from my Dads Attic!! i hope someday i can get them to working! FAV!

@skipt07 Search the interwebs for "The Impossible Project"....cool stuff!
posted October 5th, 2012  
With the rake and farm implements it would have totally been American Gothic- but this is a fun variation. It makes me think of the "Flower Children" of the 60's- living in communes and making their own candles! What a great Polaroid shot- it tricks you into thinking the picture is much older than it is. I have two of them with some old film. I think I'll play around with them today!
posted October 5th, 2012  
This is great, Peter. I bet there are a lot of good memories with it.
posted October 5th, 2012  
Cool shot, mich fun and very clever!!!
posted October 5th, 2012  
Love the flower in his hair!
posted October 5th, 2012  
Very creative shot. Love the vintage feel.
posted October 5th, 2012  
This is very cool
posted October 5th, 2012  
Love the tones - vey nice portrait of the two of them. I have a Polaroid camera. Should dig it up and use it if I can find film.
posted October 5th, 2012  
Great! Looks old!

@meisen325 Depending on camera you can get film http://www.the-impossible-project.com/ look forward to seeing.
@olivetreeann You must do it and scan results
posted October 6th, 2012  
@peterdegraaff I will probably get to it this coming week after I've finished up a few challenges I promised to take part in. I am then taking time off from them in one album so that I can do some more creative endeavors like that.
posted October 6th, 2012

Very cool, love the old ones yet best! I really do be to dig that negative scanner out!
posted October 6th, 2012  
Liking the tones. What is the significance of the mallet, the candle and the flower?
posted October 6th, 2012  
@fueast I wanted them both to hold flowers. My son wanted to do Australian Gothic
posted October 6th, 2012  
I like the fact that he's got a flower over his ear! Lovely warm tones here.

@cmc1200 First ever, last week
posted October 9th, 2012  
@peterdegraaff How funny! I used to use my parents' Polaroid all the time in the 70s. I'm sure it wasn't cheap...I can hardly remember the days when each click equalled dollar signs.
posted October 9th, 2012  
@cmc1200 It is not cheap stuff today
posted October 9th, 2012  
that film is weird, looks like the 1950s. pretty cool tho.
posted October 9th, 2012  
Fun shot
posted October 9th, 2012  
It's got such a neat effect! I absolutely love the expressions.
