purpose 8 - enfance

purpose 8 - enfance (Childhood). "...purpose wished to dedicate a lively, bountiful, colorful issue to childhood. A great many photographers, whose work we appreciate, answered our call. Their photographs, heirs of a tradition that blends documentary rigor and poetic expression, are suffused with tenderness, curiosity, humor, nostalgia... they touched us a great deal. Sometimes they show moments of intimacy veiled with modesty. Sometimes they seem to translate a childlike imagination which reminds us of our own experiences, our past sensations and feelings."
