EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful snapshot from 1969, we witness the mischievous spirit of ten-year-old choirboy Ian Stacey as he attempts to break his friend's concentration during a choir practice at St Matthews Church in the heart of London's East End. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, Ian blows bubbles with his bubble gum, adding an element of fun and laughter to what is typically seen as a serious affair. Surrounded by their fellow choristers and under the watchful eyes of their religious mentors, these young boys find joy in breaking free from tradition for just a moment. Their cheeky behavior brings smiles not only to their faces but also to those who observe them. It serves as a reminder that even within the solemnity of church service, there is room for lightheartedness and innocent pranks. As they sing hymns and participate in religious rituals, these children find solace in each other's company while indulging in some harmless mischief. The image captures both the essence of childhood innocence and the timeless bond formed through shared experiences within choirs. Kent Gavin skillfully freezes this candid moment forever on film, immortalizing Ian's playful nature alongside his dedication to music and faith. This photograph reminds us that amidst our responsibilities and obligations, it is important never to lose sight of our ability to find joy even in unexpected places - such as blowing bubbles during choir practice.
