famous B&W photo – angry kid with gun pointing into camera?
I’m looking a famous picture as described in the questions. I think it was from the 50s or early 60s and is of a kid with a vicious face and a hand gun pointing into the camera. Very candid and raw. It might have been from Life Magazine but I’m not sure. I’ve done web image searches and have come up with a lot of angry kids with guns pictures but not the famous one I’m looking for. Who’d have know there were so many angry kids with guns out there…is this something I need to concern myself about? I’ll go with happy thoughts instead.
Can anyone help???
It’s a shot by William Klein…

It’s not a real gun by the way, it is two kids playing on the street with a toy gun. Klein asked the kid to point the gun at the camera and “act mean”.. The expression on the kids face is incredible.
One of my favourite images.
