Reunions

Whistle
1

In a new picture book, Reunions, photographer Chris Porsz captures a tin whistle player playing a generation. Can’t tell if its a red top or blue, as the original photo is in black and white, and sadly, altogether absent from the revisited photo. http://designyoutrust.com/2016/11/photographer-tracks-down-people-he-snapped-in-his-hometown-almost-40-years-ago-to-recreate-the-remarkable-images/

I’d guess red top. Here’s why.

Look at the barrel. No shine at all. If it were a blue topped nickel, one would expect to see at least some tiny glossy spot.

I’m calling brass red top.

I concur.

Those photos are amazing.

I also think it’s a red top. It’s much paler than a blue top would be in a black and white photo, I reckon.
